  • Missouri AG Andrew Bailey issued a rule requiring social media companies to offer algorithmic choice for users in the state.
  • The rule makes it an unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practice under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act to operate a social media platform without allowing users the option to select a third-party content moderator of their choice, as opposed to users relying on content moderation provided directly by the platform.
  • We previously reported on the announcement of the rule.
