Democrats everywhere ought to pay attention to both DeJear’s warning and her campaign. She is challenging a Republican governor who says one thing and does another — and she’s doing it as an independent-minded, determined small businesswoman who listens and delivers. https://t.co/bgGcDl2kEj

.@POTUS clearly understands that America needs an internet we can trust. His #SOTU call to action will mobilize the political will we need to protect children and families — and democracy itself — from the damage of unchecked tech platforms. Now it’s time for Congress to step up.

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: https://t.co/PwZ9JBFuQK https://t.co/LzSrOkTZKM
