What this amendment would do
This amendment changes the numbering of several paragraphs within the bill and adds new definitions.
It adds a definition for an "excluded large online platform," which refers to a social media platform, online search engine, online marketplace, or online communication platform that averages more than 25,000,000 unique monthly users or has more than 25,000,000 user accounts.
This definition of an excluded large online platform includes all parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, but does not include a platform where users can only interact using specific phrases, emoticons, or nonlinguistic symbols.
The amendment also adds definitions for an "online communication platform," an "online marketplace," and an "online search engine."
Finally, it adds a definition for a "social media platform" and modifies the language in paragraph (27) to specify that a platform must not be an excluded large online platform.
