LEO satellites 🛰️ promise to meet global connectivity needs, but barriers to system inclusion still exist. A new report from the LEO Policy Working Group led by @newamerica.org's Wireless Future & @LawEconCenter explores: 1. Spectrum sharing & coexistence 2. Satellite competition 3. Digital divide

OTI Senior Policy Counsel @tabularaza.net spoke with @cnet.com about the FCC's latest move regarding #broadband labels. www.cnet.com/home/interne...

OTI Senior Policy Analyst @sydneysaubestre.bsky.social spoke with @politico.com about #AI chatbots and age verification technology in the context of children's online safety. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

The FCC continues to carry out its "we are powerless to do anything to help you" agenda.

"It’s one thing for the FCC to talk about the free market and competition—it’s another for them to strip consumers of one of the few tools they have to navigate it," says OTI's @tabularaza.net regarding the FCC's vote that affects the broadband label rule. www.newamerica.org/oti/press-re...

Cities are using AI to solve real problems, from evictions to civic engagement. But is it enough to make government better, not just faster? RethinkAI’s new report, featured on the #RebootDemocracy Blog, lays out a new model: Adapt. Listen. Trust. rebootdemocracy.ai#RebootDemocracy#RebootDemocracy #CivicAI

A lapse in such critical information plays a role in what OTI's @sydneysaubestre.bsky.social & @premmtrivedi.bsky.social call "data theatre." Read their @foreignpolicy.com piece to learn more: foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/22/u...

It's #GlobalEncryptionDay, and we want to take this moment to uplift an OTI piece emphasizing that lawmakers need to consider the gendered implications of undermining encryption. www.newamerica.org/oti/blog/pri...

Lawmakers shine a spotlight on #DOGE bypassing privacy laws & safeguards. @newamerica.org's OTI provided comments responding to @trahan.house.gov's call for ways to modernize the Privacy Act—made all the more salient by DOGE's overreach: www.newamerica.org/oti/legislat... #GlobalEncryptionDay

EXCITING NEWS: We, @newamerica.org's New Practice Lab & the Environmental Policy Innovation Center just launched the Digital Service for the Planet initiative, a pilot aimed to improve how govt uses tech & data to deliver on urgent #environmental priorities. www.newamerica.org/digital-serv...

Our RethinkAI initiative's new report on the state of civic #AI was covered by Government Technology. www.govtech.com/artificial-i...

OTI Senior Policy Analyst @sydneysaubestre.bsky.social was quoted in @dangooding.bsky.social's new piece in @newsweek.com. She states: "If the government can’t be trusted to respect the limits on how it uses our data, it can’t be trusted to protect our democracy." www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-...

NEW REPORT from our RethinkAI initiative: #AI is shaping government by optimizing bureaucracy, but we need a framework to deliver value and legitimacy. This report, first shown at the Civic AI Summit in Boston, showcases how to make AI work for communities. www.newamerica.org/technology-a...

“AI doesn’t just change how gov works. It changes what it is.” @slaughteram.bsky.social said it best at this summer’s National Gathering for State AI Leaders. That’s the future we’re building at @innovateus.bsky.social Read her reflections → buff.ly/xwZEDpo #GlobalAIWatch

OTI policy analyst Sarah Forland contributed to this insightful briefing paper from @theturing.bsky.social, which showcases how age assurance technology has been implemented in different parts of the world!

In a recent security incident at @discord.com, an unauthorized party got access to gov-ID images of users who appealed an age determination. The push from states to mandate online age verification can lead to more #privacy breaches like this. Learn more: www.techpolicy.press/us-state-age...

Read Commissioner @agomezfcc.bsky.social’s dissent for more on why these #FCC rulings "make it harder for students to learn, harder for libraries to serve their community, and harder for us to close the digital divide." docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…

The #FCC majority is abandoning efforts to narrow the homework gap that afflicts low-income students without #internet at home. Learn more about the gap & why expanding E-Rate is integral to closing it: newamerica.org/oti/press-re...

OTI's Sarah Forland emphasizes that age verification mandates create unnecessary burdens to access speech for everyone—regardless of age—& endanger user anonymity & privacy. Read her piece in @techpolicypress.bsky.social to learn more: www.techpolicy.press/us-state-age...

@nytimes.com @bencasselman.bsky.social warns of a possible lapse in key U.S. #data. Murkiness around data plays a part in what OTI's @sydneysaubestre.bsky.social & @premmtrivedi.bsky.social call "data theatre." Read their @foreignpolicy.com piece to learn more: foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/22/u...

Recent OTI Policy Fellow @matt-steinberg.bsky.social published a @techpolicypress.bsky.social piece emphasizing that the "more physical #AI becomes, the more it slips through the frameworks we’ve tried to build." Learn more: www.techpolicy.press/ai-is-moving...

In her piece for nexos, a magazine based in Mexico City, our VP @lcoral.bsky.social emphasizes that supporting the well-being of youth in the #digital age requires moving beyond moral panic & beginning to design for systems that allow us to thrive & flourish. www.nexos.com.mx?p=85495

OTI's @sydneysaubestre.bsky.social & @premmtrivedi.bsky.social argue in @foreignpolicy.com that the #Trump admin is conducting #data theater—a move with the defining feature of performing objectivity through meaningless data staged to simulate truth. foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/22/u...

[TODAY @ 2 PM ET] @newamerica.org's Wireless Future & ICLE host a panel on boosting #LEO satellite capacity & performance featuring @jamesondempsey.bsky.social (SpaceX); Kalpak Gude (Amazon); Patricia Cooper, former VP at SpaceX & Daniel Mah (SES). www.newamerica.org/oti/events/o...

A #TikTok deal has been reached, but that shouldn’t become a shortcut for avoiding real reform or a license to use national security to mask protectionist technology policy. Read more from @newamerica.org's @lcoral.bsky.social, our VP: www.newamerica.org/oti/blog/the...
