A million thanks to Chhaya Kapadia for taking a chance back in 2022, to @PremMTrivedi for his amazing mentorship and leadership, and to all those who I was very fortunate to work alongside during my time at @NewAmerica!

After almost 2 years at @OTI, it’s time to say good bye. It’s bittersweet to leave a dream job, filled almost exclusively with amazing, smart, kind people, but sometimes you have to take wild swings.

New beginnings! I am excited to announce that I’m now a Data and Privacy Policy Manager at @Meta, working on AI Policy and Regulations. Looking forward to what will likely be a very interesting and challenging time working in industry, after a decade in civil society!

The EU’s #AIAct was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, meaning that it has officially entered into law & will come into force early next month! What does that mean for EU businesses & the world at large? ICYMI, @OTI’s @morar explains: bit.ly/4cCwjhE

Seven months after the political agreement, the #AI Act has finally become law today. Welcome, Regulation 2024/1689! It will become a household name soon enough. Now the clock starts ticking for all the legal deadlines.

I have a folder on my desktop named "Old Desktop" Inside which is a bunch of stuff and a folder named "Old Desktop" Inside which is still more stuff and a folder named "Old Desktop" I don't even know how many layers deep it goes at this point.

Ahead of this morning's legislative hearing on sunsetting #Section230, OTI's @morar stresses that putting an expiration date on the law is not the most effective way to address online harms & keep large tech companies accountable. newamerica.org/oti/press-rele…

A group of civil society orgs led by @OTI & @CenDemTech issued an open letter to legislators, opposing the #KidsOffSocialMediaAct (#KOSMA) & urging them to focus on passing a bicameral comprehensive #privacy bill. Our statement, w/ a link to the letter: newamerica.org/oti/press-rele…

Two parts of the Senate Bipartisan AI Working Group that leapt out at me and correspond to work I’ve done @BrookingsInst. “Strong” bipartisan statement helpful to have as Senate Commerce Committee works to bring American Privacy Rights Act forward.

The House, this week, will vote on the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act. It would close the loophole used by law enforcement to buy data, like location or internet records, without a warrant! We urge all members to vote YES on this bill! newamerica.org/oti/press-rele…

Today, the @HouseCommerce Communications & Technology Subcommittee is holding a hearing on #Section230 & its future. @morar states that Congress is going down the wrong path by continuing to spotlight Section 230 in the context of addressing online harms. bit.ly/3Jfe4Ss

Congress wants to find solutions to online harms, and that is a laudable goal. Significantly altering Section 230 is not the right vehicle, in fact it’s driving 20 mph above the speed limit while going the wrong way on a completely different highway. newamerica.org/oti/blog/to-co…

Yet another 230 hearing today in Congress! Talking Section 230 implications of judicial cases (or its limits) won’t actually deal with the harms many folks encounter, daily, online! Status quo IS untenable, so let’s actually work to solve it! newamerica.org/oti/blog/to-co…
