Public state: pending As of 2026-10-05 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment is an outcome promise to limit technology companies' exploitation of Americans' personal information. Verified evidence shows McGovern introduced H.R. 10300, the Big Tech Accountability Act, and that its purpose was to protect online personal privacy and autonomy against commercial exploitation. However, the evidence only shows introduction and committee referral, not enactment or an implemented limit on technology companies. Because there is no deadline and no verified enacted outcome, the promise remains unresolved, while the introduction supports an effort badge attributable to McGovern.
