1/ We are now prohibiting Russian state media from running ads or monetizing on our platform anywhere in the world. We also continue to apply labels to additional Russian state media. These changes have already begun rolling out and will continue into the weekend.

The U.S. strongly supports @DoreenBogdan's bid to become the next @ITU Secretary-General. Her foresight, commitment, and experience are unrivaled, and her track record at ITU unmatched. Hear Doreen lay out her vision of a future of connectivity for all. #Doreen4SG

Disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress. The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.

Hard to take seriously the political arsonists, starting with Trump, when they say they want to put out the flames after they lit the match. I never thought we would live to see the day that violent mobs seized control of the Capitol. I cry for our country.

History is made as @ITU member states elect @DoreenBogdan to be Director of the Telecommunications Development Bureau. Congratulations to her and with gratitude to the other worthy candidates, all of whom support digital development around the world. xitter.cf/ajitpaifcc/status/1057… – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Voting is about to start at #Plenipot for Director of the BDT! Candidate @DoreenBogdan has deep expertise in development issues and an inclusive leadership style, and would be 1st woman to serve in a leadership position in the @ITU’s 154-year history.

Today is a big day in open-source history: 25 years ago @CERN released the source code for the World Wide Web for anyone to use. bit.ly/2jlGcah (v/@BTGroup) #TodayInHistory
Electing Doreen Bogdan-Martin as Director of BDT would be historic step for the ITU. Her longstanding dedication to the global ICT and development agenda including closing the gender gap by promoting women in tech is legendary and second to none. xitter.cf/NTIAgov/status/9717772…
In its 153-year history, the @ITU has never had a woman in any of its five elected leadership roles. This year, voting members have a chance to change that by electing @DoreenBogdan as Director of the ITU-D. Read more: ntia.doc.gov/blog/2018/elect… #InternationalWomensDay

@rmpepper: inclusive internet is using applications to enrich one’s social/economic/political life. So in addition to unconnected internet users, there are many ppl who are underconnected bc of low bandwidth (2G) #DigitalDivide #IGF2017

The private sector relies on connectivity. There is a need to develop private sector driven policies that are market driven and do not stifle innovation. @robstrayer #IGF2017 #intgov
