FILE - Democratic state Sen. Richard Pan of Sacramento speaks at a news conference in Los Angeles on Jan. 24, 2022. Two California Democratic lawmakers took aim Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, at pandemic disinformation they said has been artificially given a broad audience and misplaced credibility through social media platforms, as they rejected concerns that their legislation might carry free speech or business privacy considerations. Sen. Pan's proposal, which still is being finalized, would require online platforms like Facebook to publicly disclose how their algorithms work and how they promote user content, including which data sets are used and how they are used to rank the prominence of user posts.
