The White House released a readout of a listening session about technology platform accountability. During the meeting, technology experts and practitioners identified six key areas of concern platforms need to address: “competition; privacy; youth mental health; misinformation and disinformation; illegal and abusive conduct; … and algorithmic discrimination and lack of transparency.” The meeting led to the Biden administration releasing six “principles for enhancing competition and tech platform accountability," which included providing “robust federal protections for Americans’ privacy” and prioritizing safety standards for children online.
