The Future of Tech: A Blueprint for Action

Coverage Type: 

The independent, nonpartisan Future of Tech Commission was formed to consider and propose a national framework and tech policy blueprint for the United States. Based on the range of input and information shared with us, it is clear that there is broad consensus on a few key points, namely that:

  • Every American should have access to affordable broadband internet services at home, school, and work. The recently enacted bipartisan infrastructure legislation is a historic step.
  • Every American should be protected from the misappropriation and misuse of their and their children’s personal data; from misinformation and disinformation that threaten public health, safety, and a flourishing democracy; and from infringement of their freedom of speech online, a fundamental American value.
  • Every American should be able to depend on an online market of products and ideas characterized by safety, security, consumer choice, transparency, affordability, quality, and innovation.
