Protecting the mental health and security of children online is a top priority, but it must be done safely and responsibly. As we told @Sacbee_news, proposed legislation in California would only serve to punish companies, not protect young people online. sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…

Fight begins over California bill to hold social media companies liable for harming children

A similar effort failed last year after facing well-financed opposition.

California has fallen behind 27 other states when it comes to prioritizing access to computer science education, exacerbating educational inequities and the diversity gaps in tech. Today I introduced #AB1054 to ensure every high school student has access to computer science 🧵

Autonomous trucks can strengthen California’s economy, resolve supply chain issues, and make roads safer. The state must adopt regulations and invest in the infrastructure needed to safely test and deploy autonomous trucking across California. mercurynews.com/2022/06/16/o…
