Strong privacy legislation must:

✅ prohibit the use of data to discriminate in economic opportunities
✅ give individuals the right to access, delete & correct info
✅ Make sure there aren't unfair, biased, or discriminatory effects on consumers

The conviction of Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd is one important step for justice and accountability -- but the fight for policing reform continues. Praying for George Floyd's family and the entire Minneapolis community.

.@GKButterfield nailed it. The tech workforce does not represent the diversity of this country and after years of commitments, the numbers have barely moved. #subcommtech

[Full Color Future @fullcolorfuture]

Agreed! @FrankPallone Tech Companies are “not passive bystanders” to the violent extremist speech on their platforms. We must embrace sensible regulation that also protects creatives. #SubCommTech

[Full Color Future @fullcolorfuture]

Hope that during today's @EnergyCommerce #subcommtech meeting they focus on the impact any change will have on communities of color.

[Full Color Future @fullcolorfuture]

The Internet has changed a lot since 1996, and Section 230 isn’t perfect. The same freedom that has allowed communities of color to share our too often unheard and unseen content, has also provided space for voices that promote hate and marginalization.

[Full Color Future @fullcolorfuture]

For communities of color - who have long endured under-representation and misrepresentation by the mainstream media -- Section 230 provided the opportunity to take control over our narrative and tell our own stories.

Musab Hussein tried to rent a laptop from his school, @UMNews. Instead, he was told, "You do not look like a U of M student." An example of the real-world consequences of bias and technology access gaps for BIPOC communities. https://t.co/TRCvcaSJzU

Big news from @Google! The company will invest $7 billion in offices and data centers in 2021, creating 10,000 jobs! This announcement comes with a commitment to increasing BIPOC employment in the company which is critical to building a #FullColorFuture https://t.co/1JaRdHY7gK

The #Antitrust debate MUST consider how rewriting the rules of the internet will impact entrepreneurs of color. #FullColorFuture

Proud to collaborate with @DerrickNAACP to address the urgent need for affordable broadband across communities of color and low-income communities. Our ability to 'build back better' depends on it.

The lack of diversity in tech has implications for justice and fairness and results in devastating flaws in the industry’s own products. #FullColorFuture

[Full Color Future @fullcolorfuture]

The #digitaldivide is listed as one of the top global risks that businesses and governments must tackle. America should be leading the way in broadband accessibility and affordability.
