Trump's personal crypto investments raise serious conflict-of-interest concerns. Congress should not advance the CLARITY Act unless it includes strong ethics safeguards that prevent public officials and their families from profiting off the policies they shape. @SenCortezMasto

Mark Zuckerberg knew that 1 in 8 teens under 16 were getting unwanted sexual advances on Instagram. His response? To ignore the research, lock down internal company communications, and lay off the team doing the research.

Key point: Google tracked location data even after users opted out.

“Big tech has shown us what ‘self-regulation’ looks like, and it looks a lot like their own self-interest,” said our Communications Director @BiancaRecto. https://t.co/wTBZ1miMbn

Great to meet young activists with @DesignItForUs this afternoon.

@JudiciaryDems are on a mission to protect kids online. These youth advocates have experienced the ills of social media firsthand.

I’m grateful for their efforts, turning their experience into change.

Big Tech’s Toxic Business Model Could Land Abortion Seekers in Jail. Here’s How to Stop Them.

@accountabletech Exec Director @nicolelgill and Policy Manager @aditinramesh say protecting abortion seekers will require changes to data privacy protections:

We heard OpenAI CEO Sam Altman call on Congress today to regulate AI, but we should be reminded that we've seen this play out before: positive PR, only to kill any meaningful legislation that would hold them accountable. @nicolelgill lays it all out for us here >>

[Fast Company @FastCompany]

By pressing Altman on exactly how AI can be used, Congress can begin developing basic safeguards around the use of AI in our elections to ensure it won’t be used to fuel the spread of near infinite disinformation online. https://t.co/zki0oHymeF

Perfect timing? As Google CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage at the I/O keynote, a loud plane flew back and forth over the stadium ~5 times to protest Google allegedly storing location data about visits to abortion clinics. @Michael_Kan

[PCMag @PCMag]

The plane, towing a 'Protect Abortion Privacy' flag, flew around Google I/O for an hour, producing a loud buzzing noise during the opening keynote of the company's annual developer conference. https://t.co/M6fO67OXa9

[Accountable Tech @accountabletech]

Yes, that’s right. After our #HeyGoogle day of action yesterday, we’re flying a plane over #GoogleIO today to send a strong message to the company:

Protect abortion privacy. Stop collecting and retaining location data and aiding abortion prosecutors: https://t.co/w8t7xXBXP1

There's a Protect Abortion Privacy plane hovering around the Shoreline Amphitheater during Sundar Pichai's keynote at #GoogleIO

[Alphabet Workers Union (AWU-CWA) @AlphabetWorkers]

It's clear @Google needs to adequately resource and support workers who want to protect Google users.

This isn't a question of limited resources, just lack of prioritization.

"No one should be tracked or targeted for their personal health decisions. But that’s exactly what Big Tech’s business model of surveillance advertising is designed to do" - @accountabletech's @aditinramesh

#HeyGoogle

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Tech columnist @geoffreyfowler conducted a series of tests on Google Maps to see if the tech giant is living up to its promise to delete data when users visit abortion clinics.

His investigation revealed Google wasn't doing that in any consistent way. https://t.co/1POEpaUSKj
