It’s been a long year of continued challenges and threats to our information ecosystem.

We’re so proud of our work to hold Big Tech accountable and advocate for meaningful structural reforms to protect and advance democracy. Here are some highlights of our progress in 2022: 🧵
We joined partners and youth organizations to help pass the #CAKidsCode in California to require online platforms to prioritize young people’s safety by design and default. The bipartisan law offers a roadmap for more states to protect young users. nytimes.com/2022/09/15/bus…
We elevated youth activists and organizations like @logoffmovement by sharing the lived experiences of young people navigating Big Tech’s harms. We hosted a youth roundtable with @SenBlumenthal and partnered with young diverse digital creators to spread our campaigns online.

Dozens of organizations have joined @accountabletech in calling on congress to investigate the national security implications of Elon Musk's acquisition of twitter. You can join the petition to congress here: stopthedeal.com/congress-inves…

Letter from Musk's attorney to @vijaya terminating the merger. I hope twitter collects a full $1Bn penalty form Musk for attempting to troll twitter's value like this. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…
@vijaya And yes I said "troll."

Starting in April it became obvious @ElonMusk's offer was spurious at best, and at worst was an attempt to devalue twitter so that another institution like BlackRock can come in "buy" twitter at a devalued price in an attempt to turn a profit.
