The bill would require online platforms to be locally based, disclose political ads, report takedowns, give users a way to contest content decisions, and avoid manipulative designs. Very large platforms would also have to assess and report risks like disinformation, while an independent body (the DMSC) would issue non‑binding ethical advisories. Violations could lead to fines, public naming, or, for bad actors, criminal penalties, and schools would teach media literacy.
