We must hold tech companies more accountable by requiring social media platforms to disclose their algorithms so independent watchdogs can provide much-needed oversight.
Dan Goldman will require social media platforms to disclose their algorithms so independent watchdogs can provide oversight.
Occurrences
Evidence
Direct large online platforms ... to submit recurring transparency reports to the FTC and publish those reports.
Assessments
Goldman appears to have taken a concrete same-term legislative step by introducing a 2026 transparency bill for large online platforms, but the available evidence does not show he delivered the specific promised outcome of requiring social media companies to disclose their algorithms to independent watchdogs for oversight. The bill described requires recurring transparency reports to the FTC and public reporting focused on antisemitic content, which is related platform transparency but materially narrower than algorithm disclosure and independent-watchdog oversight. That supports partial credit for substantive movement, not full delivery.
