349	349	in a clear, conspicuous manner on the platform

352	352	can be dismissed by the user, and
353	353	(b) the person makes available a version of the platform
354	354	that uses an input-transparent algorithm and enables
355	355	users to easily switch be tween the version of the
356	356	platform that uses an opaque algorithm and the version
357	357	of the platform that uses the input-transparent
358	358	algorithm by selecting a prominently placed icon,
359	359	which shall be displayed wherever the user interacts
360	360	with an opaque algorithm.

401	401	2. The upstream provider does not impose any additional costs,
402	402	degraded quality, reduced speed, or other constraint on the
403	403	functioning of such algorithm when used by the downstream provider
404	404	to operate an Internet search engine relative to the performance of
