The FTC is launching a public comment period on censorship by tech platforms. The request for information solicits comments from users who have been “banned, shadow banned, demonetized, or otherwise censored.” 1/ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

We should expect to see confrontations bt tech companies &the EU on the DSA very soon. This is one of the main (business) reasons Zuck started glazing Trump, paid that $25 million settlement (bribe), etc. Note Vance referenced content moderation in his speeches. Europe is their 2nd largest market…

Policy isn’t about getting people to do the right thing for the right reasons; it’s about getting them to do the right thing for THEIR reasons. We can walk and chew gum, people.

I suspect this action virtually promises substantial political violence in the near future. It is an egregious affront to democracy.

Whistleblowing is a similar paradox. You’re literally begging people to investigate themselves for months as you struggle with HR and then if you come forward, it’s anyone’s guess how they will try to ruin you.

So Trump launched a meme coin on Friday night, just days before becoming President, and entities he controls retain 80% of the coin. And the coin passed a $9 billion market cap in just hours. I just can't...

We need a federal data privacy law now. Or we’ll continue down the road of a piecemeal strategy of banning popular foreign apps, while the US data broker industry continues to monetize the data of all Americans, mostly without our consent or notice. #AIBillofRights

On Net Neutrality: When Congress passed the Telecommunications Act in 1934 it clearly wanted the American people to enjoy non-discriminatory, low-cost communications services. Finding otherwise is blatant judicial activism that puts corporate interests over American democracy.
