But to date, none of them has become law.

The inaction has become a source of frustration.

But the latest cycle of congressional outrage hasn’t spurred congressional action yet.

In October, whistleblowerFrances Haugen leaked internal Facebook documentsthat illustrate how the company puts profits over user safety.

Haugen warned lawmakers that this is what the tech giants hoped would happen.

“kindly don’t fall into that trap.

So will 2022 be any different than the preceding five years?

Some observers are cautiously optimistic.

“But it will require both Congress and the White House prioritizing these issues.”

Here’s a look at the state of things in Washington, DC.

The current law places stricter restrictions on the use of data about children under 13 than about older people.

It also offers parents the ability to monitor and approve some of the information their children share.

The bill still has a long way to go.

It must pass the Senate and House and be signed by President Joe Biden before it would become law.

It’s currently still being considered in committee.

What about privacy rights for all?

The result has been lots of hearings, but no legislative wins.

The most recent bills on Section 230 reform take different tacks.

Some lawmakers have proposed carveouts of the Section 230 protections for when algorithms amplify certain kinds of content.

“But we need a long-term solution.

This legislation will hold online platforms accountable for the spread of health-related misinformation.”

Republicans have laid out their own algorithm-focused Section 230 reforms.

Haugen emphasized this point in her testimony.

But critics say this approach could have unintended consequences, something Haugen also warned of.

Civil rights and human rights organizations have cautioned about further targeted reforms to Section 230.

“The last misguided legislation that changed Section 230 got people killed.

Congress needs to do its due diligence and legislate responsibly.”

The House Judiciary Committee in June approved six bills but has yet to schedule a floor vote.

Meanwhile, efforts in the Senate are picking up steam.

“But it’s really about whether these issues are a priority for both Congress and the administration.

That’s really what it will take to get this done.”
