Digital rights are human rights. There's hardly anything as important as ensuring that our shared future has freedom of expression and creativity at its core.

Ajit Pai breezed through the Senate confirmation process despite being a former top lawyer for Verizon. Meanwhile, Gigi Sohn's nomination has languished as Dems have left her out to dry while she faces a persistent, well-funded, bigoted smear campaign

Congress must denounce these disgusting attacks on FCC nominee Gigi Sohn, who, for over a decade, has served as an outstanding advocate for a free and fair internet. They must move to confirm her nomination ASAP, and get the FCC working again.

If confirmed, Gigi Sohn would be the FCC’s first openly gay commissioner. She’s been the subject of articles from the Daily Mail and Fox News that even some of her rivals say are out of bounds. nbcnews.to/3l1Q2kV

"It’s beyond time for Congress to invest in creating more resilient digital infrastructure, where power is decentralized and decisions are made by users, not the market or Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk." - ❤️ Fight's and write in

"The stakes surrounding our privacy rights have never been higher," @fightfortheftr's @liaholland & @EseoheOjo write. That's why Congress needs to work to encode our digital rights, pass a digital privacy law and support decentralize tech. #policyweek trib.al/X7aw3gN

I am absolutely BEGGING people tracking anti-trans bills to add all of these ones to the list. The enemy is running circles around us with “save the children” propaganda and if you think forcing ID checks on every site that hosts “pornography” isn’t dangerous, please wake up!

"We don’t expect any better of Fox News pundits ... But we are appalled by the complicit silence of the White House and Senate Democrats." Retweet if you want to condemn the homophobic attacks on Gigi Sohn.

Great Report! NTIA recognizes what most members of Congress figured out last year: "Both OAMA and AICOA included language that allows the operating system operators to take steps to safeguard security, as well as privacy and safety"

📝New legislation & additional antitrust enforcement actions are likely necessary to boost competition in the app ecosystem. Enacting the measures identified will help open the app ecosystem to greater competition, innovation and potential benefits for users and developers.

NEW: & I wrote for about the shameful silence from Democratic leadership on the recent slew of blatantly homophobic attacks targeting FCC nominee Gigi Sohn. Ajit Pai sailed through the confirmation process. This is beyond absurd

Privacy is normal. It’s a fundamental human right, and is necessary to protect our freedoms in the digital age. The 118th US Congress must support this right. And, we need your help to ensure they do. If you care about privacy, take action now:

It has been several days since Fox News, Daily Mail, and other far right news outlets launched their latest smear campaign targeting Gigi, complete with Qanon style conspiracies and homophobic tropes. The White House and Dem leadership have been silent.

Please take a minute to tell Congress that Privacy is a fundamental human right and essential to democracy. Everyone deserves protection from surveillance, as well as the freedom to build tech tools that preserve privacy by design!
