I was really grateful to see this study by upturn. It took me a long time to retrain my mind because I've been in the startup game for so long that it'd be like, Oh, here's a problem in the world. And so if you're thinking about developing an app as your next thing, why not think about finding a place like in tech congress,. That you can apply what we know about how technology actually works to the protection side. We want to share a very special thanks to the generous lead supporters of our work at the Center for Humane Technology.
What difference does a few hours of Congressional testimony make? Tristan takes us behind the scenes of his January 8th testimony to the Energy and Commerce Committee on disinformation in the digital age. With just minutes to answer each lawmaker’s questions, he speaks with Committee members about how the urgency and complexity of humane technology issues is an immense challenge. Tristan returned hopeful, and though it sometimes feels like Groundhog Day, each trip to DC reveals evolving conversations, advancing legislation, deeper understanding and stronger coalitions.
