Imagine trying to explain to your colleagues who are members of Congress what Twitch is

Some context for a few folks getting upset at this: Congress is voting on legislation regarding Twitch today.

It’s totally fine if you don’t know what Twitch is. But tech literacy is becoming an growing need in Congress so we can legislate to protect people’s privacy, etc.

When our legislative bodies aren’t sufficiently responsive to tech, then that means we don’t have the tools required to protect people.

This is partially why companies know way more about you than you may even be aware of - bc it’s legal, and Congress is struggling to keep up.

The good news: a majority of the Dem party supported this amendment.

That’s a really solid start for this being the first time this issue has been brought before Congress.

We’ve made great strides since *that* Senate FB hearing, but we’ve got a lot of room to still improve!
