Social media users are getting wise to the joke that when the product is free, they’re the ones being sold. But how much are they making off your data? The DASHBOARD Act will require these big tech companies to disclose the true value of your data. https://t.co/T7aGn9vdqE — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkWarner "These 'free' products track everything we do so tech companies can sell our information to the highest bidder and use it to target us with creepy ads,” said Senator Hawley. “Even worse, tech companies do their best to hide how much consumer data is worth and to whom it is sold." — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Senator Hawley joined @MarkWarner in introducing the DASHBOARD Act that will require social media companies to disclose what exactly they collect on users, how that data was collected, and – most importantly – the true value of users' personal data. https://t.co/cDRJnPSJgv — PolitiTweet.org

Big tech companies are the largest and most powerful companies today – with enormous resources and advanced algorithms they can use to help them moderate content.

There's no other media company or publisher that receives the same special treatment that big tech companies do thanks to Section 230. But as Senator Hawley said, "unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, big tech has failed to hold up its end of the bargain." https://t.co/JZpD3hPy7X — PolitiTweet.org
