At a House hearing, NTIA's Alan Davidson vows an "evidence based" approach, designed jointly with the FCC, to assess wireless interference risks so we can all avoid a repeat of last month's disastrous 5G rollout debacle. "We're going to coordinate on the science." — PolitiTweet.org

Nevertheless, Blumenthal and Blackburn said repeatedly that their intent is to regulate Big Tech and social media, and to regulate others only to the extent that they engage in behavior similar to social media platforms. Blumenthal vowed to consider further who's covered. — PolitiTweet.org

Second is a provision that explicitly subjects non-profits and common carriers to the law and its various regulations. "Common carrier" is a legal term that generally covers things like telcos, airlines and other essential services. https://t.co/sCb9aejVgT — PolitiTweet.org

On a press call, the senators were peppered with questions about the scope of their new bill. Two issues appear to stand out. First is the breadth of the "covered platform" definition, which does not contain exemptions for small platforms as some other bills have done. https://t.co/KYcwCaLWqt — PolitiTweet.org

It's not quite the same as Apple's move, and Google says as much when it criticizes platforms that have "bluntly" limited ad tech. Google basically wants to import its third-party-cookie-replacement plan to Android from the web browser, abstracting user data by a layer or two. — PolitiTweet.org

Google announces it plans to shift away from cross-app tracking, in a move that could have some similar effects on advertising as Apple's App Tracking Transparency changes: https://t.co/GCkW3rOkvz https://t.co/FSyvVpT98F — PolitiTweet.org

The senators are calling the bill the Kids Online Safety Act, and it's Congress's latest attempt to clamp down on tech after warnings about how social media may be contributing to a teen mental health crisis. Here's the bill text: https://t.co/CPJ0FsLBN1 — PolitiTweet.org

The bill by Sens. Blumenthal and Blackburn aims to require social media companies to provide parental tools, enabled by default, to fight app addiction and "rabbit holes" of harmful content. It'd also require third-party platform audits and researcher access to data. — PolitiTweet.org

One interesting thing for antitrust nerds is Nadella's attentiveness to antitrust regulators' growing interest in labor markets. Nadella says the Activision Blizzard deal is pro-competitive on this front because Microsoft is a place people want to work. https://t.co/OVZ9iprgTG https://t.co/lg8DDOIPDu — PolitiTweet.org

Separately, Microsoft said it’s committed to Sony that popular franchises it acquires from Activision Blizzard (“Call of Duty” et al.) will remain available on PlayStation under Activision’s existing deal with Sony, and that it offered to extend the deal on a “multiyear basis” — PolitiTweet.org
