Researchers conclude harm from “digital tech” on kids is not evident in aggregate data. But researchers also acknowledge that every kid is different and “indulgence” could be harmful. Striking balance btwn overreacting/negligence induces parental anxiety. scientificamerican.com/article/the-ki…

The GDPR bashing continues in the hearing as witnesses correlate 7 months of its effects as definitive evidence. All of sudden there are tech monopolies and it’s all the EU’s fault! No kidding. This panel is grotesque. #FederalPrivacyBill

IAB’s Grimaldi won’t mention how news business is abandoning digital advertising wholesale for rev. Won’t mention research that shows plurality say targeted ads are unethical and the more consumers learn about how behavioral ads work, the more they hate it. #FederalPrivacyBill
