@SahilBloom I don’t think you need two Steinbeck’s there

Thank you to the hundreds of #Massachusetts small businesses and organizations that joined Internet for Growth's coalition letter and shared their perspectives with lawmakers. Read the full letter: https://t.co/qnOPA8qEg6

[Brendan Thomas @brendanathomas]

Massachusetts is on the verge of passing one of the country's most consequential privacy laws.

Consumers deserve strong privacy protections. But the decisions lawmakers make now will affect far more than digital advertising—they'll shape innovation, competition, affordability, jobs, and the state's economy for years to come. 🧵

[Brendan Thomas @brendanathomas]

Massachusetts has an opportunity to protect consumer privacy without becoming an outlier. The final bill should avoid unnecessary costs, preserve the digital services consumers rely on every day, and keep the Commonwealth competitive for innovation, investment, and jobs—from startups to Main Street.

@brendanathomas, Executive Director of Internet for Growth, and coalition member Scott Shields join Ken Rosato on @onnewjersey to discuss the importance of digital advertising rights for small businesses.

“Modern Mexican architecture reinterprets international modernism by blending geometric forms with natural materials, vibrant colors, and indigenous influences. Defined by seamless indoor-outdoor fluidity, thick textures, and tactile finishes, the style has evolved from mid-century masterpieces to contemporary brutalist retreats.”

Proud to help lead Internet for Growth’s largest-ever Capitol Hill fly-in during National Small Business Month, bringing more than 20 small business owners, creators, and digital professionals to Washington to discuss privacy, digital advertising, AI, and the affordable online tools Main Street businesses rely on to compete and grow. #Internet4Growth

[Brendan Thomas @brendanathomas]

Fantastic #Internet4Growth fly-in to Washington, D.C., where small businesses, creators, and entrepreneurs advocated for a national privacy framework that protects consumers while preserving the speed, convenience, affordability, and personalization of the ad-supported internet.

“We have a free, widely available internet because of advertising.”

Thanks to @CaitrinAssaf and @GrayDCNews for covering Internet for Growth’s Capitol Hill fly-in and the importance of protecting consumer privacy while preserving the affordable digital tools businesses rely on to grow.
