Title: |
Digital Communications Regulation |
Description | Concerning the regulation of digital communications, and, in connection therewith, creating the digital communications division and the digital communications commission. | Summary | The bill creates the digital communications division (division) and
the digital communications commission (commission) within the department of regulatory agencies. On an annual basis and for a
reasonable fee determined by the commission, the division shall register digital communications platforms, which are certain communications-oriented online businesses, such as social media platforms or media-sharing platforms, that conduct business in Colorado or own or operate services that are offered to Colorado residents. A digital communications platform that fails to register with the division commits a class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 for each day that the violation continues.
The division shall investigate and the commission may hold
hearings on claims filed with the division alleging that a digital communications platform has allowed a person to engage in one or more unfair or discriminatory digital communications practices on the platform, which practices:
Include practices that promote hate speech; undermine election integrity; disseminate intentional disinformation, conspiracy theories, or fake news; or authorize, encourage, or carry out violations of users' privacy; and
May include business, political, or social practices that are conducted in a manner that a person aggrieved by the practices can demonstrate are unfair or discriminatory to the aggrieved person. Such practices, if done in an unfair or discriminatory manner, might include:
Practices that target users for purposes of collecting and disseminating users' personal data, including users' sensitive data;
Profiling users based on their personal data collected;
Selling or authorizing others to use users' personal data to provide location-based advertising or targeted advertising; or
Using facial recognition software and other tracking technology.
If a person who files a complaint with the division exhausts all
administrative remedies and proceedings, the person may file a civil action in district court alleging an unfair or discriminatory digital communications practice.
