HAPPENING NOW: in their largest gathering ever, survivor parents & advocates are taking the #BigTechonTrial docs to the lawmakers who’ve refused to listen. It’s time to choose: are you with families or Big Tech?
Totally! It’s the full realization on the Citizens United problem.

LTF is backed by Trump's loudest supporters. They directly profit from unsafe AI products and power ICE's surveillance and terrorization of our communities.
We're asking @repsuhas.bsky.social, @gomez.house.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @liccardo.house.gov, and Rep. Gottheimer to disavow LTF.
If unchecked, Big Tech's agenda will lead to mass unemployment, unsafe AI products, and taxpayer-funded subsidies and gifts for the richest companies in the world.
Don't believe us? Take their word for it. It's playing out right now.
NEW: Big Tech's AI money is flooding campaigns across the country. OpenAI, Palantir, and a16z are spending hundreds of millions to oppose candidates who support AI safety, chatbot protections, and data privacy.
We're calling on Dems to disavow Big Tech's Trump-connected backers.
In the end, though, what made the verdict remarkable was the relative ordinariness of Kaley’s story..The jury award was a spur to understand a life recognizably shaped by social-media algorithms, in ways that were perhaps near-impossible to resist, as a serious injury to an entire generation.
as we await the jury's decision now, we put together the takeaways from the last few weeks of the social media addiction trials. take a look 👀 ⤵️
NEW: Ex-Meta engineer Arturo Bejar's testimony in the landmark L.A. trial sheds new light on WHY execs like Zuckerberg knew everything but refused to act. Oh, and this whistleblower brought receipts 🧾🧾🧾
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says, “Kids under 13 aren’t allowed on our services.” That's a lie.
2015: Internal review found 4 million kids on Instagram.
2017: Meta employees, we're "going after <13 year olds” – Zuckerberg had been talking about this “for a while.”
đź‘€ Oh. The AI super PAC people are also the Jeffrey Epstein people.
SHOT: Bad take from OpenAI’s Chris Lehane about AI POPuLiSM
CHASER: Sent from Davos
AI super PACs run by OpenAI / Meta / big tech think they can run the crypto playbook from 2018 -- but voters actually know what Big Tech and AI is (and they don't like it). it won't work
There’s only one reason why Snapchat would settle on the eve of trial, and that is because what was about to become public is so damning that they were hoping the evidence they have denied for years will never see the light of day.
🗒️TOP STATEMENT: "ChatGPT drove minors to suicidal ideation, coached them through how to take their own lives, and dissuaded them from seeking medical help and counseling when they needed it most. Nothing could be more audacious than rolling a deadly product out at scale..."
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
@sachalouise.bsky.social on Google and CharacterAI settling lawsuits over teen suicides:
“These lawsuits have awakened the world to how deadly AI chatbots can be by hauling these depraved companies into the spotlight."
something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

This is just sad.
I was an early buyer on this lib conspiracy theory but this isn't the top, no way, I'm hodling
🪨 Rampant scams on Meta's ad platforms
🪨 Trump's AI EO drawing fire from GOP
🪨 Big Tech's last-minute push to water down the NYS RAISE ACT
All that, and more in this week's edition of The Dispatch.

If we don't see hallmark movies about data centers next holiday season, we riot.
Read the full letter here: techoversight.org/wp-content/u...
LETTER: Over 150+ NYS parents, including survivor parents, are calling on Governor Hochul to sign the Raise Act as passed by the legislature – underscoring what's at stake.
"Without this commonsense law...young people and their families will be first to bear the consequences."
AI companies: We can't have 50 state AI laws. There has to be just one rulebook for AI
EU: Here you go
AI companies: not like that
We need AI guardrails so badly. Even tech executives are succumbing to psychosis and committing horrible acts. We cannot afford to give Big Tech AI amnesty.
Making Nestor proud.
In a surprise to absolutely no one, Trump’s corrupt AI czar is self-dealing to enrich his companies and friends — while Americans lose protections and their jobs.
đź‘€ Seems ripe for Congressional oversight and hearings.
