Section 230, the crucial law protecting free expression online, is not a handout to large tech companies. Let's not forget that those companies actively lobbied Congress to undermine it. https://t.co/1H7u9XAxfw

In December Siemens shut down a factory in Burlington, Iowa, shipping 107 jobs overseas. Under Trump, Siemens received over $500 million in federal contracts.

I say to Siemens: if you want another federal contract, you must bring those jobs back to Iowa. https://t.co/L3z8wi5Vre

Sen. @BernieSanders is the first presidential candidate to call for a total ban on the use of facial recognition software for policing.

He’s also calling for a moratorium on the use of algorithmic risk assessment tools that aim to predict recidivism. https://t.co/Y1vugyfeQO

You wake up this morning reminded again that Donald Trump is completely unfit to be President. But what’s most disappointing once again this morning is the continued cowardly silence of Congressional Republicans in the face of this overwhelming truth.

@KimZetter We found practical attacks (in 2007) that could allow compromise of a single voting machine in one election to effectively infect every other machine in the jurisdiction in the next election. Adding an Internet connection to the backend makes this attack much more efficient.

"U.S. wireless carriers have long said they may slow video traffic on their networks to avoid congestion and bottlenecks. But new research shows the throttling happens pretty much everywhere all the time."

Apple's new policy should cause companies with a business model partially based on tracking to reconsider their practices, for fear of being blocked by Safari users universally https://t.co/oOJSy5L6gY

ICYMI: Are the ads you see sometimes so accurate you think your phone is listening to you? While that's not the case, the reality is even creepier.

Here's how Google & Facebook collect your data & use it to auction you off to advertisers for profit: https://t.co/F0TZbUEwsN

The business model of Wells Fargo is fraud. Yet how many people at Wells Fargo are going to jail? Zero.

But if you smoke marijuana in this country, you get a criminal record. That is unacceptable. https://t.co/pnxPjy0SU5

If a program does not help ensure the safety of Americans, cannot stay within the law, and violates our privacy, then why should Congress reauthorize it?

The cable industry owes its existence to permissive copyright rules that allowed it to retransmit broadcasts; on the Internet those rules are dead, and Big Cable helped kill them https://t.co/yPN6Os4mKl

Last month, @mhbaskin reported that as many as 80 percent of the USDA's economic research agency employees are planning to quit rather than move to Kansas City. That could disrupt entire fields of study https://t.co/dXah3cq44w
