What the document says
“A covered platform shall provide on the platform a clear and conspicuous notice, which may be provided through a clear and conspicuous link to another web page or disclosure, of the notice and removal process established under paragraph (1)(A) that-- (A) is easy to read and in plain language;”
The platform must carry a clear and conspicuous notice of the process, which it may provide through a clear and conspicuous link to another page or disclosure. The notice must be easy to read and in plain language, and must give information about the platform's responsibilities under the section, including how an individual can submit a request.
What the document actually says
“A covered platform shall provide on the platform a clear and conspicuous notice, which may be provided through a clear and conspicuous link to another web page or disclosure, of the notice and removal process established under paragraph (1)(A) that-- (A) is easy to read and in plain language;”
That sentence, in plain words
The site must post a clear notice about how this works. It must be easy to read.
What this is about
The notice can sit on another page. A clear link to it is enough. It must say what the site has to do.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
