Antitrust TikTok is a thing!

We’re thrilled to have partnered with @socialcurrant to elevate young, diverse TikTok creators interested in supporting historic bipartisan legislation to #ReinInBigTech. Image
Congress is considering two bipartisan bills to #ReinInBigTech’s societal harms and monopoly power:

1️⃣ American Innovation and Choice Online Act

2️⃣ Open App Markets Act
Don’t just take it from us. The U.S. has a long history of creating and enforcing strong antitrust laws to protect competition and consumers. History teacher and TikTok creator Dana Fortune explains: tiktok.com/@danafortune/v…
.@truemper_jake rewinds to 1890 to explain the history of antitrust legislation in the U.S. and why early antitrust laws may be outdated for today’s Big Tech monopolies.

As Dana Fortune explains, unchecked monopoly power has allowed Big Tech to exploit and harm users, workers, and democracy. It’s time for Congress to pass historic bipartisan legislation to #ReinInBigTech.

In 2022, we helped pass the #CAKidsCode, which requires design features that protect kids’ data privacy online and reduce screen addiction.

Let’s break down what this legislation is – and what it isn’t. 🧵
techpolicy.press/the-california…
Based on the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code, Kids Codes target the design of platforms likely to be accessed by kids and teens, including features like behavioral nudges, targeted advertising, and data collection.
A report conducted by @childrenscreens showed that the UK framework has had a positive impact – since going into effect in 2019, platforms have made 100+ changes to comply with the standards and protect kids’ privacy online.

As Elon Musk continues to post polls on Twitter for major policy decisions like the below, our team decided to test the validity of these polls.

This is what happened when we bought votes from bots for less than $100…
Earlier this month, we set up a Twitter account called @VoxPopuliVoxBot to launch a few polls to assess the ability for bots to influence Twitter poll results.
We ran one straight-forward poll: Can polls on Twitter be trusted?

For $57 dollars in purchased for-hire bot services, we delivered 26,261 votes in under 24 hours.

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.

ICYMI: Elon Musk wants to own Twitter again. 😞

Here are 12 reasons why we should not trust the transphobic, misogynistic, narcissistic, union-busting billionaire to run a platform of over 300 million users worldwide:
1. Elon Musk has a history of transphobic comments — once tweeting “pronouns suck” — and he’s eager to roll back Twitter’s content moderation systems for harmful content.

2. Elon Musk’s own daughter even disavowed him because of his transphobia.
