I think that's what makes it difficult to execute. There is no "Missouri law", just a vague promise of potential future regulation. If a law for "algorithmic choice" emerges, it will probably end up being similar to the EU's. (In any case, EU legislation affects many more people and is already in force, so it's best to start there.) As for the press release you mention, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with "algorithmic choice" at all: it says things such as «Users are provided with a choice screen upon account activation and at least every 6 months thereafter that gives them the opportunity to choose among competing content moderators». The fediverse already satifies this: the "competing content moderators" are the different fediverse instances. People regularly change instances when they dislike the moderation decisions of their own instance. I believe recent Mastodon releases even provide regular reminders that you can move to a different instance (every time there's a new moderation decision which affects your followers/follows). Some fediverse apps default to account creation on a specific instance, so that "ballot screen" option isn't satisfied at the moment, but then I'll be very surprised if it survives lobbying by Facebook et al.
