While the momentum to reform tech in the US grows, the EU, UK + others have taken significant steps to foster healthy digital experiences for kids.
But protecting their well-being online will require a comprehensive approach to safety, privacy and design.

Proud that Cuba’s growing tech community is bringing families together across borders - and the dinner table!
Thanks to @StanfordGSB and @Alter_Global for making my immersion with @Alamesacuba possible.

We are thrilled that @POTUS will call for stronger protections to improve mental health and safety of kids & teens online at #SOTU
The #FutureOfTech Commission released its blueprint on these urgent issues last month. The American people want action now:

It takes public and private sectors working together to capitalize on big opportunities and solve challenges. The @FOTComm Blueprint for US Tech Policy is a thoughtful bi-partisan approach to promoting tech innovation while addressing its impact on society.https://t.co/N9y8cbNHEc
Over the last year, the bipartisan #FutureOfTech Commission received input from over 150 experts and advocates across the country on how to build a better, safer foundation for #tech in America.
Last summer, @knightfdn hosted a town hall w/ Future of Tech Commission to discuss how tech talent pipelines could be rebuilt to meet community & industry demand.
Thrilled to see so many of the recommendations uplifted by Miami residents included in this Blueprint for Action.

On my first visit to Cuba, I asked a local what reform might look like. "Cuba is not Vietnam, Iran, or China. Only the Cuban people can decide."
Calls for intervention will not liberate Cuba. Open travel. Push for internet access. Elevate voices on the ground. They will decide.
NEW: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez says the U.S. should explore air strikes against Cuba, telling Fox News that “what should be contemplated right now is a coalition of potential military action in Cuba” similar to U.S. interventions in Panama and Yugoslavia. https://t.co/H32gV1qvF3
"In authoritarian contexts like Cuba, where the govt has long since monopolized the mass media and transformed journalism into political propaganda, access to unfiltered channels of information can indeed shift the balance of power in small but powerful ways" #KeepItOn ↘️
Our first in person town hall was a hit thanks to @DevalPatrick@rmoas@knightfdn@FOTComm and the inspiring leaders of Miami's tech hub.
"You can't microwave tech talent," but the 305 sure is cooking it. #FutureOfTech
Tomorrow: The @FOTComm's work continues in Florida with a @knightfdn town hall. Register to submit your questions and thoughts on how to advance innovations in education and talent development for the #FutureofTech.

American families whose lives are most affected by technology deserve policies that harness its potential. The time is long overdue for our nation’s leaders to put in place public-private tech solutions that reflect today’s digital world. #FutureofTech

#BidenHarris2020
By “illegal votes” it seems @potus is referring to votes cast by mail which disproportionately benefitted his opponent this election. Those votes are not in any way illegal. Important for all public leaders, especially Republicans, to stand up for our democracy at this hour.
5\ A 🇨🇺 network’s coordinated hashtags pushed out nationalistic messages. The 526 acts tweeted >4.8M, making it today’s largest takedown. This is the first IO attributed to Cuba but expanded internet may be an indicator of more to come. https://t.co/6pQUVJeUwr
