@shanvav @thedailybeast Congrats Shannon! Looking forward to reading your coverage.

@haroldfeld That's at the end of my column, actually.

[Kim Hart @khart]

Compared to when previous administrations nominated leaders at FTC, FCC & DOJ's Antitrust Division, Biden is behind — giving him a late start on confronting powerful companies. My column today: https://t.co/9B17ZUv2V7

[Margaret Harding McGill @margarethmcgill]

If it feels like it's taking longer than previous administrations to name nominees to key tech/telecom roles, that's because it has, @khart reports https://t.co/xjfC9TWASv

It's the behavioral challenges that come along with weaning kids off of so much screen time that worry me. As a parent, the daily fights and tantrums are exhausting.

[Jacob Fisher @jake_fisher]

Growing evidence suggests that most of the lit tying “screen time” to reduced well-being is likely flawed, and more recent studies indicate there’s probably nothing to worry about WRT screens during COVID. https://t.co/5FARjRfHlN

[Kim Hart @khart]

@communitynets Perhaps it's the same concept but it feels less satisfying to me. I like watching live sports (men and women) to root for athletes and see human elements play out. I know there's skill involved in egames too -- Not trying to offend any egamers here!

[Kim Hart @khart]

I still do not understand the appeal of watching YouTube videos of other people playing games. Why not just play the games??? I guess this is what makes me old.

[Kate Bernard @kathrynbruns]

.@Axios @mikeallen leading with the kiddo #screentime battle today makes this pandemic #wfh mama feel so seen. And @khart is right, the addiction to watching Youtube videos of other kids doing things is real🤦‍♀️

[Kim Hart @khart]

In my column today, I admit how much screen time my kids have watched during the pandemic and talked to child psychologists about curbing it.

"It's a real crisis right now," one told me.
