Ask any parent and most will say their kid has come across indecent content online. That's because #Section230 has allowed for an explosion of harmful content with no real consequences. Reforms to Section 230 are sorely needed to hold #BigTech accountable.cnbc.com/2023/01/30/the-supr…

Hot off the press: Today’s @WSJ op-ed by @POTUS reaffirms his administration’s commitment to tackling the most urgent tech policy challenges facing Americans who are deeply concerned about online privacy and safety, especially for kids and teens.

Fantastic oped by @POTUS reaffirming his administration's commitment to hold #BigTech accountable. Americans on both sides of the aisle want our elected leaders to push for stronger online privacy protections—especially for our kids and teens!

We commend @SenatorLujan for introducing the Digital Equity Foundation Act, which creates a clear pathway to sustainable ongoing investments in #DigitalInclusion programs. Support for these programs is essential so that every family can fully access and use high-speed internet.
The #DigitalEquity Foundation @SenatorLujan proposed will advance #DigitalLiteracy & #DigitalInclusion nationwide, getting us closer to ending the #DigitalDivide, the Senate Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications, Media & Broadband just heard: bit.ly/3Pm1Jy2

Online crimes like phishing occur more frequently every day, threatening the security of individual identities and disrupting normal business and government operations.
As we know from @FOTComm, voters—on a bipartisan basis—overwhelmingly worry about our nation’s #cybersecurity.

Hats off to @POTUS for calling out social media platforms for the harms they cause to kids’ mental health. Americans support strong action, and so do we.
We’ve been ringing this bell for more than a decade. It’s time to act. #SOTU

It takes public and private sectors working together to capitalize on big opportunities and solve challenges. The @FOTComm Blueprint for US Tech Policy is a thoughtful bi-partisan approach to promoting tech innovation while addressing its impact on society.bit.ly/3sPd4vF

A major #FutureofTech recommendation: a comprehensive federal privacy law. Misinformation is amplified through algorithms and the unrestricted collection of personal data. This isn't about free speech — it’s about limitless reach. More from @JimSteyer, Margaret Spellings and me:
That's a wrap! ✅
Thank you to our commissioners @DevalPatrick @jimsteyer @Texas2036 and our speakers @SenMarkey @SenBillCassidy @MarshaBlackburn @SenBlumenthal @vivek_murthy @Surgeon_General @JRosenworcel @FrancesHaugen

Last summer, @knightfdn hosted a town hall w/ Future of Tech Commission to discuss how tech talent pipelines could be rebuilt to meet community & industry demand.

A fascinating listen on the proposed tech regs. the @FOTComm's been crafting, including:
- standardized privacy-protection labels
- banning data collection on children under 16
- using FTC fine $ and merger fees to support local news outlets
Listen 🎧: U.S. doesn’t have a national technology policy. But the independent Future of Tech Commission thinks it should and is proposing wide-ranging rules. @johndmckinnon joins @thecourier to discuss. wsj.com/podcasts/whats-news/…

American innovation is uniquely suited to enhance and protect national security, personal privacy, our children’s safety and democracy itself, but our leaders must set universal, trustworthy standards — and do so now.

The Kids Online Safety Act was introduced today to hold social media companies responsible for harm they cause to children on their platforms. It's long overdue for the federal government to update tech policy and protect kids online. @jimsteyer @WSJ
