Liberal Advocates Call for Sweeping Tech Reform in Next Democratic Presidential Platform As the 2024 presidential election heats up, a group of influential liberal backers is pushing for a major overhaul of the tech industry to be included in the next Democratic platform. Dubbed "Project 2029," these advocates are urging the party's candidates to take a bold stance on several key issues, including a blanket ban on social media for kids under the age of 16, significant reforms to the Section 230 liability shield, and stricter regulations on AI-powered chatbots. The movement also seeks to strengthen default privacy settings for users, a move that could have far-reaching implications for the tech giants. As the Democratic candidates begin to take shape, it remains to be seen whether this ambitious agenda will gain traction and shape the party's stance on these critical issues.
The liberal backers of "Project 2029" want the next Democratic presidential candidates to pursue a major crackdown that includes a social media ban for kids under age 16, limits on the Section 230 tech liability shield, stronger default privacy settings and tighter restrictions on AI chatbots.
