We're proud to announce the release of our latest paper, "The Blueprint for Equitable Digital Participation," from @publicknowledge Broadband Policy Director Alisa Valentin and @WeAreUnidosUS Senior Civil Rights Policy Advisor Claudia Ruiz, in collaboration with @netinclusion!

[Chamber of Progress @ProgressChamber]

Donald Trump's @FCC is targeting TV programs that touch "gender identity themes," which would treat the normal presence of LGBTQ people on-screen as a reason for heightened warning or different rating. That's wrong.

We partnered with @LGBTTech, @publicknowledge, @http_policy and @HispanicFed to remind the FCC they have zero authority to influence TV ratings. https://t.co/mbFrcrSjV7

Today, @publicknowledge joined @LGBTTech, @ProgressChamber, and others in filing comments at the @FCC in opposition to its proposed content warnings for 'gender identity issues' in TV programming. Our statement from Legal Director @bergmayer:

🚨 Today, @MarshaBlackburn, @ChrisCoons, @SenThomTillis, & @SenAmyKlobuchar reintroduced the #NOFAKES Act, which would create a broad right of publicity that would address the problem of digital impersonation by prohibiting most unauthorized uses of a person’s voice or likeness.

However, many of the bill's provisions prioritize the entertainment industry and its concerns at the expense of the overwhelming majority of people the bill allegedly protects — posing imminent danger for many Americans, particularly those at heightened risk of abuse online.

“If you fail to properly diagnose the problem, you will fail in your abilities to solve the problem.” Today, the @FCC voted to “streamline” the agency’s broadband data collection by reducing the number of ways consumers can challenge providers on coverage claims.

[Public Knowledge @publicknowledge]

The FCC collects this broadband data to support its National Broadband Map – a tool designed to help close the #digitaldivide by identifying communities lacking high-speed internet access. “Streamlining” the data collection may undermine the map’s effectiveness.
