Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., on Tuesday rolled out the first in a series of bills aimed at regulating Facebook and other social media companies, even as the path to an all-encompassing federal online privacy law remains murky.

The bill, which Warner introduced with co-sponsor Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., bans online platforms with over 100 million monthly active users from using so-called "dark patterns." The term refers to interfaces designed to coax users into taking actions that often result in giving up more information than the user realizes – such as prompts to access phone and email contacts in order to keep using the platform.
