Technology's Progressive Future.
Making sure all Americans benefit from technology.
Not just another business group.

[Computer & Communications Industry Association @ccianet]

A single plaintiff’s claims should not give courts authority to redesign how the entire digital economy operates. CCIA, joined by @SIIA, @NetChoice, and @ProgressChamber, urged the Supreme Court to hear Apple v. Epic. The lower court’s sweeping injunction goes far beyond party-specific relief and risks expanding judicial control over digital services in ways federal law does not permit.

Some Democrats propose moratoria, nationalizing labs, or taxing AI to halt progress. That risks jobs and innovation. A pro-growth, pro-accountability Democratic agenda can harness AI for economic opportunity, equity, and safety. Read more: https://t.co/IITTdICa0W

“With its Tech Sovereignty Package the European Commission is responding to Trump’s instability and the continued threat to international trade. That’s understandable, but legislators have a lot of work to do to make sure the sovereignty framework will work for Europe,” says @KayJebelli

The European Commission released its Tech Sovereignty Package, including proposals for a Cloud and AI Development Act and Chips Act 2.0. The initiatives are intended to boost the development of digital infrastructure and capabilities, strengthen Europe’s resilience to external threats, and support its industrial sector.

The CRTC’s spending decisions drew pushback from industry stakeholders and Opposition MPs, who warned that higher spending obligations for streaming services would translate into higher prices for Canadian consumers.

The Government of Canada directed the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today to review recent decisions that tripled streaming services’ Canadian content spending obligations from 5% to 15%.

[Chamber of Progress @ProgressChamber]

“The CRTC’s spending obligations were way out of line internationally and would have driven up costs for consumers. Minister Miller deserves full credit for supporting Canadian content without raising costs or reducing choice for Canadians,” says @jdtabish

“The governor was absolutely right to reject a bill that risked raising prices by making it harder to offer discounts.” - @DrewAmbrogi

Thank you @GovofCO for vetoing HB 26-1210, which would have restricted the use of personal data to set prices and offer customer discounts, including personalized coupons and tailored loyalty rewards. Statewide polling showed that 70% of voters oppose this sweeping ban.

[Chamber of Progress @ProgressChamber]

While supporters claim the bill protects consumer discounts, a broad coalition of stakeholders warned that the bill’s exemptions jeopardize most of the personalized coupons and loyalty rewards Coloradans use every day.

Read more from @TahraHoops: A majority of voters say they can’t afford the life they expected. The party that wins will be focused on the cost of housing, energy, groceries, and care, and will back that focus with supply-side reforms. https://t.co/25vuCU1IR0

Earlier this month Chamber of Progress' VP for Europe @kayjebelli spoke on the opening panel of the @EU_Startups Summit about the challenges and opportunities related to the European Commission's proposal for a 28th corporate law regime, EU Inc.

The EU is facing a once-in-a-generation reflection on how to become more competitive in the midst of rapid technological change. Old ways of overprecautious regulation are being questioned and rethought, complex frameworks that have become ever more burdensome over time are being simplified, and the EU is refocusing on what it can do to complete the single market. The EU Inc proposal is one part of a bigger push for a stronger, more competitive Europe, an objective that Chamber of Progress deeply supports.

This moment in European policymaking is an opportunity for startups and entrepreneurs of all types, but especially those who want to contribute to a brighter, more competitive, and more progressive Europe. We also talked about @dgprogress, our campaign to help bridge the gap between European policymakers and European founders and investors, and inform better policymaking in Brussels.

Big thanks to @ThomasOrTK and @EU_Startups for inviting Chamber of Progress to the stage.

Democrats used to be the party of innovation. What happened? Our new report by Biden alum @DaveV15 explains why and how this happened. Read the full report here >> https://t.co/ieLVXYrZx8

[Tahra Hoops @TahraHoops]

The CHIPS Act showed that investments can help spur innovation partnered with expert experience. While implementation had cracks, it demonstrated that we can scale domestic innovation when government pairs real dollars with experts, and leads with incentives.

[Adam Kovacevich @adamkovac]

NEW:

We Democrats used to be the party of innovation.

But we took a misguided turn against tech in the Biden era.

Our new report by @DaveV15 on Democrats' Techlash Trap explains why and how this happened - so that Dems can correct this lose-lose policy & political mistake.

[Greg Schultz @schultzohio]

The policy choices ahead of us carry real-world consequences for our country’s future. Democrats needs to be informed, including by those who understand emerging technologies best. We don’t have to agree on every conclusion to acknowledge that good policy comes from real dialogue

[Roy E. Bahat @roybahat]

If the Pope can work with tech, maybe Democrats can learn to do it again, too

[Daniel Castro @castrotech]

Today @ProgressChamber has released a deep dive that explains how the Democratic Party has lost its way on tech and innovation.

This report is the election post-mortem the @DNC should have created.

I like the term “faculty lounge populism” — when instead of advocating for working class material interests you’re doing graduate students’ expressive resentment of rich people.
