President gets it right yet again. Google just announced the same thing in TX, we must ensure America dominates the global AI economy w/o raising rates for consumers! gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove… SC let's follow suit!

The App Store Freedom and Security Acts fail to address the actual dangers found in risky apps and unsafe features. Both bills rely on a one-size-fits-all approach that does not strengthen protections for families. @RussellFrySC washingtonreporter.news/p/op…

Some states are paying more because of bad policy.
In South Carolina, we’re doing it differently — attracting smart growth, upgrading infrastructure, and keeping costs in check. Data centers are part of the solution. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Innovation, not intervention, drives progress. The DOJ’s proposed breakup of Google’s ad tech tools risks higher costs for publishers and small businesses while undermining privacy and security. Smart policy should be targeted, not destructive. springboardccia.com/2025/09/…

U.S. antitrust policy should strengthen American innovation, not weaken it. We can protect consumers and compete globally—without handing our tech edge to Beijing. itif.org/publications/2025/0…

Europe’s tech sector is stuck in first gear: slow, risk-averse, and tangled in red tape. Meanwhile, the U.S. is embracing innovation and racing ahead in AI and the next tech wave. A key read from @WSJ: wsj.com/tech/europe-big-tech…

DOJ’s radical plan = 🔒 more restrictions, 💸 higher prices, 📉 less innovation. It threatens your privacy, your devices, and America’s tech edge—all while helping foreign competitors. blog.google/outreach-initiat…

Everyone agrees on protecting kids online — but how matters. Current proposals risk kids’ privacy without solving the real problem. @Google is pushing for a smarter approach that protects privacy, empowers parents, and shares responsibility. blog.google/outreach-initiat…

Congress must protect kids online the right way—by funding law enforcement, not censorship. The STOP CSAM Act misses the mark. Lawmakers should pass the INVEST in Child Safety Act & enforce the PROTECT Our Children Actto get predators off our streets. netchoice.org/a-better-path-…

KOSA is a threat to privacy & innovation. Requiring SSNs & IDs for age verification puts families at risk—X & TikTok already exposed sensitive data. We can protect kids without sacrificing free speech or tech progress. America leads; we don’t follow Europe.
"As @senatorshoshana noted, age verification will require parents to upload a combination of SSNs, plus government IDs. Over the summer it was revealed the company X and TikTok used to verify identities, AU10TIX, left personal data exposed for over a year." bit.ly/4gX7UW3 @TaylorMillard @spectator
Divesting Google of Chrome isn’t just bad policy—it threatens innovation, undermines competition, and risks handing an edge to geopolitical rivals like China. Antitrust should promote progress, not stifle it. amgreatness.com/2024/12/04/t…

Interesting read. To stay a global tech leader, the U.S. must defend AI development and fair access to data. techpolicy.press/to-support-…

Nvidia’s rise from a Denny’s pitch to a $3 trillion AI powerhouse is the American Dream in action. 🚀 But now, the Biden admin wants to punish their success with antitrust probes. Should we really stifle innovation when we need it most?
"The U.S. [has] a major strategic edge in both the AI industry and in geopolitics. To capitalize on that advantage, however, America must avoid heavy-handed AI regulations and antitrust threats." bit.ly/3XL8xLp @AdamThierer @CityJournal

labeling Google a “monopoly in search” is a dangerous precedent that misreads the modern digital landscape and will likely stifle innovation and harm consumers. Higher courts need to correct this course before American innovation pays the price. netchoice.org/innovation-on-…

This decision hinders competition and technological advancement. The real losers? American consumers who rely on efficient, high-quality services. We urge reconsideration for the sake of our economy and tech industry.
BREAKING: Court Ruling Against Google Hurts American Consumers
WASHINGTON—Today, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled against Google in the Justice Department’s (DOJ) trial to punish the company for its success and popularity with consumers. The ruling penalizes Google for engaging in standard business practices that are common across industries, enhance user experiences and provide customers with high-quality services, and it will ultimately harm Americans and vibrant competition the most.
“Today’s ruling against Google will do nothing to help American consumers, and they are the real losers of this decision. By targeting and punishing standard business arrangements, the ruling stifles innovation and hinders the ability of American companies to compete globally. It sends a message to the world that the United States is willing to punish success and could discourage other companies from investing in similar technological advancements that drive our economy forward,” said @CarlSzabo, NetChoice Vice President & General Counsel.
Szabo continued: “Americans benefit from the unparalleled convenience, speed and accuracy of Google’s search engine, and that success has inspired fierce competition in the online search market. By breaking these standard agreements, this ruling will create a fragmented and less efficient market, ultimately harming consumers who use and appreciate Google’s services for their needs. We urge the courts to reconsider this decision in light of its far-reaching negative implications for consumers, market competition, America’s tech industry and the broader U.S. economy.”

Age-verifying users violates First Amendment rights and KOSA’s vague duty of care risks censorship.
KOSA poses the same problems, only with slightly different words!
As we explained last year, platforms will be required to age-verify users, violating their First Amendment right to speak and access content anonymously.

@Google's $75M in AI training marks a significant step towards future-proofing our workforce. By investing in AI skills, we're not just adapting to technological advances—we're leading them. Let's embrace these opportunities to ensure a thriving economic future.
Drawing on years of experience and investment in upskilling programs, we’re excited to announce the new Google AI Essentials course and the @Googleorg AI Opportunity Fund to ensure people from all backgrounds have access to AI training. #GrowWithGoogle blog.google/inside-google/in…

Another example of @POTUS's DOJ coming after tech companies in the name of "antitrust". If your goal is to innovate, just know the consequences will be hefty legal bills...
FW Denounces Antitrust Case Against Apple: “If you're a successful American company, DOJ is coming after you. That’s the message the Biden admin is sending to industry leaders. Especially watch out if you’re in America’s top growth industry, tech." #ampFW hubs.ly/Q02qrB4l0
