H.R. 3816 would restrict some types of business activities for large online platforms, specified in the bill, including discriminating against products offered by business users and preferentially boosting their own products. The new restrictions would apply to federally designated “covered platforms,” which have at least 50 million active users each month or 100,000 active business users each month, are owned or controlled by a company with a market capitalization or annual sales exceeding $600 billion, and have the ability to impede business users from accessing the platform’s customer base.
