TWEETS on Antitrust

This book banning madness needs to end. It's an unjustifiable distraction from the fact too many of our schools are STILL closed. On top of all this, we don't need Big Tech controlling what our kids can and cannot read. 📚 Let them learn and think freely. https://t.co/Cj4sJM3u5q

TWEETS on Antitrust

Big Tech knows their invasive overreach cannot continue. I’ve been pushing for more transparency and protection for consumers online for years through the #BROWSERAct. This is a welcome step to protect privacy but more action is needed. https://t.co/d9hBzpeV9Y
