The website has no way to actually read the legislation itself, but it can be found here: https://massie.house.gov/uploadedfiles/surveillance_accounta...

Of note is that the proposed legislation provides a massive loophole on page 3, line 17:

"The collection or analysis of information that is lawfully published or voluntarily made available by a person or entity to a public audience, and which requires no circumvention of privacy settings, encryption, or other access controls."

So that just means that any given website or service with information that can be public facing on a web page can be set up to be accessed by anybody who knows how to navigate to it, even if it's not on the user's profile page. Or other ways, such as having a request list.
