Dossier Legislative introduced 23-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To prohibit stealth bots, and for other purposes.

Key claim: HR9915 would prohibit stealth bots and related undisclosed automated online activity.

Abstract

(HR9915 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-23): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

Stealth-bot prohibitions would push platforms and developers toward mandatory disclosure of automated accounts and bot-driven activity, layering onto existing deceptive-AI and conversational-AI transparency proposals. For users this signals clearer signals of human vs. machine interaction online; for platforms it raises detection, labeling, and enforcement obligations. Status is early (introduced, referred to committee) with no enacted mechanism yet.
