Sen Cruz introduces the TERMS Act boosts transparency and tackles discrimination by online platforms

U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz (R-TX) reintroduced the Transparency in Enforcement, Restricting, and Monitoring of Services (TERMS) Act (S.2010), which will prevent online service providers from weaponizing broadly worded terms of service agreements to silence customers and deny them access to essential business technologies over their political beliefs. The limited number of providers for some online services has forced conservative organizations to decide between conforming to restrictive woke demands or exercising their freedom of speech. The legislation requires online service providers like Slack and Eventbrite to clarify ambiguous, discriminatory terms of service policies and notify users before restricting access to a product based on a terms of service violations.
