Love this! Very cool to see how many ways there are to finance sustainable community networks. This is a great read

[Connect Humanity @Connect_Fund]

🔥 Hot of the press 🔥

There's a growing movement of community connectivity providers expanding internet access to underserved communities.

This report shows how they can be financed sustainably: https://t.co/TM217nLOjg

Broadband is infrastructure.

At last year's Indigenous Connectivity Summit participants asked @ISOC_NA to create a "centralized database that captures funding opportunities, eligibility, and information on how to apply." I'm so excited to announce that now it's here! Check it out: https://t.co/tUSj5Abvwg

I hate this so much. Have we learned nothing from Black Mirror??

Microsoft has filed a patent that would allow the company to digitally revive deceased loved ones as chatbots, using the individual's "images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages" and more. 💀 https://t.co/px8fYEiFyL

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell has filed legislation that attempts to tie $2,000 stimulus checks to a FULL REPEAL of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

If this passes it would destroy the Internet as we know it, opening the floodgates for widespread censorship and abuse.

[Internet Society @internetsociety]

The Internet Society's new global survey conducted by @YouGov reveals that over two-thirds of people (67%) are not confident that politicians have a good enough understanding of how the Internet works to regulate it.

[Joseph Lorenzo Hall, PhD @JoeBeOne]

repealing Section 230 outright would be disastrous; while it may be out of the NDAA, but we must be vigilant! Our statement: "Internet Society Warns against Any Potential Repeal of U.S. Intermediary Liability Protections" @internetsociety https://t.co/fhVYzVqvmi

Listen hear to find out the results of a new @internetsociety and @YouGov poll that asked whether Americans believe politicians have the knowledge and expertise necessary to regulate tech: https://t.co/xJzIFOtmlD

On Tech Tent at 0900 - Senators grill Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Pichai - but will they reform Section 230? The Internet Society's @KE_Watson warns politicians they could damage the net. Plus tech and the virus - how inkjet printing tech + solar power could boost testing & oxygen

[Internet Society NA @ISOC_NA]

Looking forward to this week’s US Senate hearing where CEOs will talk about #Section230. Ahead of the hearing, we surveyed thousands of people for their thoughts on the state of the Internet. Learn more here: https://t.co/Yw2urLVfdg
