Was the sale of TikTok really about national security?
@OTI's @lcoral breaks down the TikTok deal, what it means for users, and what it reveals about the Trump administration’s efforts to consolidate power online.

The sale of #TikTok reveals something deeper about the rise of #authoritarianism in the #digital era. Read the latest piece from @NewAmerica's VP of Tech & Democracy, @lcoral, to learn more: newamerica.org/the-thread/tr…

@NewAmerica's VP of tech & democracy programs, @lcoral, points to the mass mobilization method of Taylor Swift's fanbase, the #Swifties, in combating #AI generating non-consensual sexual images on social media.

Online age verification mandates may do more harm than good. @lcoral, @PremMTrivedi, and @sarahforland urge countries to consider alternative social and socio-technical solutions.

As # AI-generated content becomes more difficult to discern without a label, @lcoral discusses the need for better frameworks and systems for raising children in an age shaped by algorithms, automation, and #AI.

Chatbots like #Grok are being used to generate sexualized #AI deepfakes of people, which spread across social media.
In 2024, @lcoral stressed to @Newsweek that even with legislation addressing #deepfakes, social media platforms must also take action.

VP of @NewAmerica's Technology & Democracy programs @lcoral writes in @nexosmexico about building a framework that sees "youth well-being not just as the absence of harm, but the presence of opportunity, connection, and cognitive freedom."

California faces the third-largest nursing shortage in the nation, and we need practical solutions now. AB 1400 (Soria) delivers, empowering community colleges to train more nurses and strengthen our care economy. This is another great bill for @GavinNewsom to sign.

We’re already seeing how this administration’s efforts to weaken the #CFPB & other agencies protecting Americans from corporate & government abuses can impact our #privacy & security, as @lcoral recently noted in @OTI’s series on #Trump’s tech governance: bit.ly/3S58EOd
Russell Vought, acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to more tightly regulate the sale of Americans’ sensitive personal data. wired.com/story/cfbp-quietly…
An amazing event! So glad to be able to partner with @AAPBroadband. 🎉
#PublicBroadband champion @gigibsohn (@AAPBroadband’s Executive Director) is here at @NewAmerica’s D.C. office for @OTI and AAPB’s #CommunityFirst25 conference, sitting down with @enoss (@tinginternet’s President and CEO) for an engaging fireside chat! 👏 bit.ly/4mfUhEH
As I noted in one of @OTIs early assessments of the administration’s tech governance, weakening the CFPB could also stymie an important privacy lever available for consumers! 👇🏼today we are seeing it fully playing out. bit.ly/3S58EOd

If there was any doubt that open-source #AI models are key for our global competitiveness, the breakout success of Chinese app @deepseek_ai makes it clear: The U.S. should prioritize AI openness in its economic strategy.

Though the 6th Cir. struck down @FCC’s 2024 order reinstating its #TitleII authority & #NetNeutrality rules, OTI remains dedicated to fighting for robust consumer protections that ensure all Americans have access to the full internet, free of interference: newamerica.org/oti/press-rel…
