Is Trump FTC concerned more about your AI privacy & safety or Meta's growing grab of our info? Dozens of advocates tell #FTC to act asap, enforce its rules. Key test for #FTC in the #GenAI era. bit.ly/3X3sWdm
China will still be the "boss" in a Trump TikTok deal, raising questions about how & what data is gathered & used. Ongoing ad targeting isn't protecting privacy or national security. "the latest changes put almost all of TikTok’s business operations under Chinese executives who…

Trump's billionaire friend Larry Ellison bought CBS. Now he’s after CNN. Next up: TikTok. All with Trump's backing. This is how media works in authoritarian societies — a very dangerous trend.

OpenAI has sent a legal request to the family of Adam Raine, the 16yo who died by suicide following lengthy chats with ChatGPT, asking for a full attendee list to his memorial, as well as photos taken or eulogies given. His lawyers told the FT this was "intentional harassment"
It's also creating U.S. led digital colonialism worldwide.
Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.
So called tech innovation from many of your member/partners has brought unprecedented commercial surveillance, lost of privacy, undermining of democratic structures/norms, environmental, human rights threats, more. Now their role in GenAI hastening crisis in all above, worldwide.
I want Democrats to be the party of innovation again, and ditch the antagonism of the Biden era, which set our party back. We just launched a new Substack for our Blue Horizon Project to restore Democratic tech optimism, led by @DaveV15. Check it out ⬇️ pub.bluehorizonproject.org
AI browsers--commercial surveillance via GenAI. Regulators & advocates should address agentic AI search, data gathering, ad delivery & marketing systems that can threaten privacy, financial security, health & consumer protection. bit.ly/3L0q9yV
The unchecked expansion of Amazon/AWS globally--fueling more & more AI driven applications via multiple partnerships--illustrates failure to regulate privacy, competition, AI. Also part of growing digital colonialism where US digital giants reap profits & power from a 21st data…
If a company can break the entire internet, they are too big. Period. It's time to break up Big Tech.
The sale of Warner/Discovery/CNN should set off alarms--& it's example of how structural failures in US to regulate older & digital media led us to many of the threats to democracy we face. Many issues, inc. potential for TikTok, Paramount/CBS, Warner/CNN combine.…

Trump Adm. #FTC #CFPB should be protecting U.S. consumers & their $ in GenAI agentic payment & marketing era. We have no confidence they are addressing the multiple problems with Gen AI and the public. Global/state regulators should address: See: bit.ly/4hboNNK;…

Florida is accusing Roku of selling detailed info on kids to Kochava, the data broker battling @FTC over rampant privacy abuses. This follows a similar suit by Michigan’s AG. With progress against broker abuses stalling under @AFergusonFTC, it’s great to see states stepping up.
Our Office of Parental Rights is taking Roku to court to protect Floridian's data. Florida families deserve to know what is happening with their children’s personal information. Parents—not tech companies—get to direct the upbringing and control the personal data of their kids.
