I am done with X. I will not feed a platform that glorifies Nazi ideology, amplifies antisemitism, and turbocharges the dissemination of disinformation. It’s time for all of us to #eXit.

Morgan Stanley failed to employ basic data security measures when selling-off old computer devices. Their negligence exposed personal data for hundreds of thousands of their #Connecticut customers.

The Office of the Attorney General represents the State of Connecticut and the public interest, so we don't provide legal advice to individuals. However - just this once - I advise you to remember to turn your clocks back Sunday morning and enjoy that extra hour of sleep 🔂⏰

Additionally, the increased frequency of antisemitic and anti-Asian rhetoric and violence in recent years means that this may be a particularly dangerous time for such targeted genetic information to be released to the public. Read more here:

23andMe is in the business of collecting & analyzing the most sensitive information about individuals - their genetic code. This incident raises questions about their processes to obtain consent from users, as well as the steps taken to protect confidential personal information.

Glad to see @AGWillamTong tackling this important issue. Baseball may be America’s pastime—but that doesn’t mean it should be exempt from American antitrust law.

Baseball is big business. There’s no rational reason why #baseball - above any other sport, or any other business - should be insulated from federal and state antitrust enforcement.

Their abusive practices have unleashed a youth mental health catastrophe. Attorneys general today are blanketing the country in coordinated federal and state court actions to hold Meta accountable for their blatant violations of consumer protection and child privacy laws.

"Behavioral cocaine." That's how one developer described Meta's abusive practices and algorithms on its social media platforms. Meta saw American kids as a ‘valuable and untapped market’—nameless factors on a bottom line to maximize profits.
