Perhaps the parental anxiety is generational. We grew up with a media that was safe and regulated by the FCC. Parents are defenseless in the age of YouTube, at the mercy of tech titans reactive to bad PR. The moral panic is real even if the reasons to be aren’t always real.
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…
35 years ago parents were worried about illicit lyrics in music. (Tipper Gore vs Frank Zappa). Today, parents are worried about self-harm propagandists, pædos, nazis, flatearthers microtargeting our kids. Public pressure and debate is part of the process.
Missed the #FederalPrivacyBill hearing in Senate committee yesterday because of Cohen but finally read @hartzog’s opening statement and you should too. commerce.senate.gov/public/_cache/… 
A crucial tension is a dire necessity to inhibit the data economy to protect human rights vs. the Trump administration’s effort to accelerate unfettered development of AI to race against China, a state that readily deploys it for social control.

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
Really looking forward to IAB’s mouthpiece up next to bash GDPR and exclaim the virtues of self-regulation crapware like AdChoices and ignore how Cambridge Analytica sits dead on IAB’s doorstep. #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
