RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that creators and digital workers, as a distinct and growing class of small businesses and independent economic contributors, deserve fair treatment, transparency, and economic opportunity in the modern platform-based economy.
- (1) access to affordable, reliable, and portable health care options for creators and digital workers, so that coverage is not dependent on a single employer or platform;
- (2) ensuring that digital workers can carry benefits across gigs and platforms, including portable benefit systems and retirement plan options designed for independent workers;
- (3) clear, transparent, and predictable revenue-sharing terms between platforms and creators for the content and labor that generate value for those platforms;
- (4) ability for creators to maintain decentralized, opt-in, direct relationships with audiences who choose to engage with their work, enabling creators to move between platforms without losing their audiences;
- (5) offering robust small business resources to creators and digital workers, supporting transparency around platform algorithms that affect compensation and visibility, and protecting workers against misclassification under existing Federal labor law;
- (6) access to timely, responsive customer support and clear appeal processes for creators and digital workers when platform actions materially affect their accounts, content, or income; and
- (7) transparency, consent, and accountability standards related to the use of artificial intelligence and synthetic media that materially affect creators’ identities, reputations, or livelihoods.
