I got boosted – it was free, fast, and relatively painless. If it’s been 6 months since your shot, you’re eligible too. Get your shot when you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, our bipartisan infrastructure law delivered a huge investment in broadband for Virginians – I’m traveling down to Norfolk and Goochland to talk more about that tomorrow. https://t.co/3lrAwp1aQk — PolitiTweet.org

Friends at work but rivals on the field! Betting big on JMU for this one — #GoDukes — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

There’s a lot to get done before the end of the year, but it’s worth celebrating some of what we’ve accomplished, too: 🚂 At least $8 billion for VA transit/rail 👶 Historic action to cut child poverty with the CTC 💻 At least $100 million to expand VA broadband — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The lack of regulation in the social media industry is frankly outrageous – it’s time to stop addictive design aimed at kids under 13 with my DETOUR Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

When the Senate votes on the defense bill, it will contain a 2.7% pay increase for our servicemembers – a win for the hardworking men and women that sacrifice so much for this nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It shouldn’t be this complicated – abortion is health care. It’s time to pass the Women's Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: jobless claims yesterday were the lowest they’ve been in 52 years! Democratic economic policies create jobs and get people back to work. Let’s keep going. https://t.co/URZh98aRn1 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Folks, the precautions we’ve already been taking are still our best bet against Omicron. Get vaccinated/boosted, wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces, and get tested when you can. https://t.co/rIazD2PdGL — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RepSpanberger: American elections should be focused on the concerns of our communities — not the interests of a foreign individual, com… — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I reintroduced the bipartisan DETOUR Act to help combat #darkpatterns and addictive internet design aimed at kids. It’s time we started holding social media companies accountable for the manipulative interfaces they build. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Foreign entities should never have a say in our elections – that’s why I’m cosponsoring a bipartisan bill alongside @RepSpanberger, @SenRubioPress, and @RepJimBanks to help prevent foreign actors from donating to referendums and ballot measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I’m still thinking of all those affected by the flooding in Buchanan County, and actively working to lobby for more federal support for victims. https://t.co/ZOY8ktl9Jc — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Folks, we’re less than a week out from the final installment of the Child Tax Credit – a revolutionary benefit that has helped 1.6 million Virginia kids and CUT child poverty. We must extend it by passing Build Back Better. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The investments we’ve made in our economy through laws like the American Rescue Plan are paying off. America is getting back to work. https://t.co/58jL6yAWWN — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Today’s hearing with the CEO of Instagram made it clear – large social media companies are not going to self-regulate. That’s why I’m working on bills like the DETOUR Act and the SAFE TECH Act. It’s time to ensure actual accountability for manipulative design. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Let me be clear: the situation in Ukraine right now is due in part to the complete lack of oversight by the previous administration. Moving forward, I plan to work alongside the Biden admin and our allies to make sure the conflict is resolved quickly and diplomatically. https://t.co/neJRnAsEzW — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The idea that we're going to leave some of the largest companies in the world to self-regulate is just plain crazy. That’s why I’m introducing bipartisan legislation to hold huge social media corporations accountable. https://t.co/3fbCqqXGVu — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Ultimately, the goals of the DETOUR Act are simple: instill more transparency in a deceptive online environment, protect kids from addiction, and start holding big tech accountable. I’m looking forward to getting this law done. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Finally, we know that platforms are not being held accountable for designing to target kids. DETOUR would take the first step towards changing that, making it illegal to use addictive techniques on children under 13. https://t.co/g8MHdvk3uK — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The DETOUR Act would change that by requiring companies like Facebook to get your permission before including you in any psychological test – and prevent them from burying that permission in their general service agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

These deceptions go beyond individual interfaces – manipulation is built into user agreements, too. For years, Facebook has been studying how you are emotionally affected by your feed. It's wrong that they can be doing psychological tests on you without your explicit consent. https://t.co/mTsYaSgfWt — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

A lot of these #darkpatterns are merely annoying – but some contain darker implications, like these checkboxes that obscure important privacy permissions. I think you shouldn’t have to struggle to see what data you’re giving away. https://t.co/54EQWIO9eo — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Or one of the most common – have you ever been overwhelmed by popups tricking you into signing up for never ending newsletters? That’s a #darkpattern, too. https://t.co/QD1LyfKBBX — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

This #darkpattern really bugs me – can you spot the legitimate download link among all these deceptive ads? I can’t. https://t.co/mFyOyS5F2P — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Or ever been ready to check out and then all of a sudden there’s a range of bogus hidden fees added? Again, a #darkpattern https://t.co/NphgKn1ag7 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

So what exactly is a #darkpattern? They range from merely annoying to actively insidious. I’ll take you through it. First, ever had a confusing list of checkboxes that tried to con you into signing up for an email list? That’s one. https://t.co/314dGgbUKC — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Chances are you’ve seen a #darkpattern online – a deceptive internet mechanism used to trap you into clicking, buying, or signing up for something you don’t want. I’m reintroducing a bill to prevent these with @SenatorFischer, @amyklobuchar, and @SenatorJohnThune. https://t.co/tZeJP1Vwpa — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I'm proud that Virginia continues to do our part to end this pandemic. Kids 5 and up are now eligible to receive a vaccine, and any adult who got their shot 6 months ago can now go get boosted! — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Every month, the entire Virginia delegation – R’s and D’s – gets together over lunch to discuss shared priorities. Today we were honored to be joined by governor-elect Youngkin, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate to get things done for all Virginians. https://t.co/K7PvLwJjb8 — PolitiTweet.org
