One of the many aspects of my job at Chamber of Progress that I greatly enjoy is being on the front-lines again, advocating for the Internet and progressive tech policy. The recent SCOTUS social media cases (Gonzalez v. Google & Twitter v. Taamneh), presented my first opportunity, since I was at Google, to get back out there and fight for online speech and expression. With that, below is a recap of the many external advocacy moments I’ve had over the past few months on these monumental Internet Law cases.

I love speaking about these topics! For press / speaking inquiries, I can be reached at jess@progresschamber.org
