ACCO

We fight to push organized crime off the Internet. The laws governing the web should protect the world's most vulnerable creatures, not tech billionaires.

Proud to see our members @ANFHelp @stoptheVOID @tkmackey featured in this @RollingStone article about @Snapchat's role in amplifying the #fentanyl crisis. It's a shocking story of corporate greed and congressional and federal law enforcement failure.

As I wrote in today's @techpolicypress, @counteringcrime is calling on Congress to act now to regulate harmful deepfakes & AI-generated technologies to prevent the spread of harm & exploitation. 2/2

We call on #Congress to address the laws governing AI & Deep Fakes: Computer code is just 1s and 0s. How we code systems to operate is up to us. Policies & laws should set the framework, & they should be geared to protect the most vulnerable among us, not tech billionaires. 4/4

Need a Halloween scare? We've gone on a dystopian journey to record how illicit actors, scammers & forgers are weaponizing #DeepFakes and AI-generated technologies to predate and defraud innocent people.
There's a tsunami of fraud coming our way. 1/

"Digital forgers are using off-the-shelf technologies to scam people in real-time, using video calls over #WhatsApp and #Facetime...[while] promoted content spreading on @Facebook, @X, @TikTok, & @instagram , where forgeries of public figuresare used to hawk crypto scams." 3/

Today our ED @GretchenSPeters had a wonderful discussion on #WhattheHack with @Adam_K_Levin about the need to reform #CDA230 to define the difference between illicit conduct & free expression. Have a listen! #StaySafeOnline

With just 2 weeks until the election, we are posting our non-partisan analysis of where each candidate stands on tech policyt, esp #CDA230. There are big differences as to how Democrats & Republicans say they plan to govern the web going forward. 🧵

[ACCO @CounteringCrime]

Neither candidate has commented on #CDA230 during the campaign. As president, Trump pressed for Congress to repeal the 26-word law after he was blocked on #Facebook and #Twitter. Kamala Harris has said she wants to see it reformed. 6

[Gretchen Peters @GretchenSPeters]

Today in @theHill I urge @VP & @realDonaldTrump to pledge to appoint a digital tsar to lead a strategic process of integrating our laws, policies & institutions into the digital age to address a range of harms that the Internet enables & amplifies 🧵
