John, Big Tech represents one of the greatest threats to our democracy in the modern era. As I argued in a piece for the Western New England Law Review earlier this month, Big Tech companies have achieved unprecedented monopolistic growth and retained immunity from legal accountability using a combination of big-money lobbying, massive campaign spending, and heavily funded propaganda campaigns to deter and prevent any meaningful government regulation. They have built a multi-billion-dollar business model that profits from exploiting and selling the personal information of virtually every American and facilitating and promoting disinformation and violence that undermine our democracy, our healthcare, our civil rights, and our capacity for rational self-government, as we saw in the January 6th insurrection on the Capitol, and the endless stream of violence and other destruction linked to social media abuse. That’s why we need the Big Tech Accountability Act. This proposed legislation is designed to hold social media companies accountable for engaging in targeted amplification of disinformation and threats of violence on their online platforms for profit, as well as protect online personal privacy and freedom against commercial exploitation. But to make this a reality, we need your help. Will you chip in what you can to help us protect our democracy from targeted amplification by social media companies of disinformation and violence?
