Quote of the Day
“We need to change overall so that it's no longer the case that social media companies are the one place where it's the Wild West, and they have no regulation of any kind," Warren said. "There's no other industry that gets to do that.”
Warren is pushing for greater oversight of all social media companies with a bipartisan bill that would cover issues from foreign ownership to protecting consumers' personal data.
