Ifyouthinktheanswertoadilapitatedmotelthatthecityneedstodemoandshouldhavebeendemo'ddecadesago, is togiveit to "artists" toliveinforfree, youareverywrong.

Thismotelneedstobeleveled. ThecityownstheAnaheimLodgenow, todemoit wouldbebetterfortheblvd, and cheaperinthelongrun, consideringtheproblemsassociatedwithinvitingmorepeopletolivethere.

ThebiggestreasonisthatthisgoescompletelyagainsttheBeachblvd. SpecificPlan.

WespenthundredsofthousandsofdollarssurveyingwithPlaceworks, whatour communityneeds, fromourresidents, withAnaheimFirstandnotonepersonsaidweneedtohouseartists.

Notone.

Thereareamillionthingsthatarewrongwiththis.

ButthemainthingIwantyoutotakeawayfromthisletteristhatBeachblvdisamess, aseveraldecadeslongmess, and wewanttobetterBeachblvd. Sosticktotheplancouncilmembers.

Juststicktotheplan!!!!
IamsotiredofthiscityjustdoingwhatevertheywanttowestAnaheim.

Weareexhaustedfightingforourdistrict, andafteralltheseyears, thecityjustdecidestograffitioursidewalksand housepeopleinthesemotels. Overandover, andover.

HelloMr. White,
1 Thanksmuchfor a phonecall onlastThursdayregardingtheItem #11. Afterourconversation, I do havea lot of questionsandI wouldhopeto gettheanswerpriorCityCouncilmeeting, Tuesday, Feb7, 2023.

Herearemy/ourquestions:
1) Whatis yourproposalfor thethisPublicArt Challenge? WestAnaheimresidentswouldliketo see writtendocumentation/ applicationthatoutlinethecity' planfor theAnaheimLodgeproperty. TheCity wouldliketo applyfor a $1 Milliongrantfor a temporary (2 year) art projectat theformerAnaheim Lodge. TheBloombergPhilanthropiesPublicArt Challengeis intendedto “supportinnovativetemporary publicart projectsthatenhancethevibrancyof cities”. Ourinnovativeprojectwouldadaptivelyreusethe formermotelandturnit intoanart incubatorspaceandcommunityspaceasaninterimusebeforethe buildingis torndownandthepropertyis developedwithhousing. Wearein theearlystagesof building partnerships, concepts, andoperationalideasfor theproject.

Sinceyoustatedthat “ Weareintheearlystagesof ……. operationalideasfortheproject,” whatarethetopicsor themesthatCityplanstopitch / saleto/ forthisPublicArtChallenge? 2) Pleasesharewithresidentsthespecificdetailsandguidelinesas howthisgrantcanbe used:
a) Whattypeof expendituresareallowableversuswhatexpendituresarenotallowable? The grantguidelinesarenotprescriptivein howthefundscanused, excepttheyareto beusedto supportthe publicart project”. Thegrantapplicationasksfor a generalbreakdownof howthemoneywill bespent, andweareworkingona generaloutlineof this, includingphysicalimprovementsto theproperty, art installationson theproperty, operations, andsecurity. Pleasekeepin mindthatthelongtermplanfor the siteis newhousingdevelopment, whichwill requirethedemolitionof thesiteat a laterdate, therefore, grantfundswill beheavilyinvestedto supporttheart installationsandcomponentsthemselves. thegrantfundswillbeheavilyinvestedtosupporttheartinstallationandcomponentsthemselves.. Whoisthe installers? Whoownedthoseartpieces? Whatwillhappentoartpiecesaftertheprojectcomplete ? b) CantheCityutilizethegrantfundsto upgradethephysicalconditionof themotel? Theroom at theLodgewerepreviouslyassociatedwithnefariousactivitieslikeprostitutionanddruguse/sale. I wouldimaginethatanyplanto utilizethepropertyfor alternativepurposewouldincludea planto upgrade and " cleanup" theroomandlandscaping. Yes, webelievethegrantguidelineswillprovidethe opportunityto makephysicalupgradesto thepropertylikelandscaping, cleanup, painting, minorrepairs, etc. Pleasekeepin mindthatthelongtermplanfor thesiteis a newhousingdevelopmentsotherefore, therewill notbesignificantchangesto themotelroomsthemselves.

Sobasically, notmuchmoneytoinvestin physicalupgrades?
c) Canthegrantfundsbe usesto payfor 24hourssecurityof theproperty? Again, giventhe previousactivitiesassociatedwiththeproperty, securityhereis a necessarycomponentof anyupgrade. I alsowouldlike to pointoutthatneighboringbusinessin area ( Subway, WabaGrilletc) continueto experiencedifficultieswiththecriminalelementalongBeachBlvd. Asthepropertyowner, theCityis responsiblefor themaintenance, operations, andsecurityof thepropertyandis committedto maintaining andsecuringthesiteregardlessof whetheror notthesefundsarereceived. TheCityis already providingfor propertymanagement, includingsecurity. 24-houron-sitesecurityand/or property managementwouldcontinueas partof theplanof operationfor theArtsLodgeproject. Securitywillbe thefirstpriorityof theprojectandwill informall decisionsregardingtheoperationof theproject.

Isthatmean percentnomoneyfromthegranttopayforsecurity?
2 d) Canthegrantpayfor salariesor housingallowancesfor theartists? Thegrantis intendedto helpfundartistsandthecreationof art. Compensatingartistsfor theirtimeandresourceswouldbepart of theproposedgrantbudget. We donotanticipatepayingdirecthousingallowancesto artists. There wouldbe noartistslivingat theproperty. Theonlyresidentat thepropertywouldbean on-sitemanager, for securitypurposes.

Whataretherequirementsandcriteriathattheartistsmustqualifytoreceivethegrantfundandwhatwillhappento theartpiecesafterbeenpaytocreate? whowillownedits? City? Communityorartists? Youstated, “ wedonotanticipatepayingdirectlyhousingallowancetoartists”, wouldyoupleaseclarifythat statement?
e) Canthisgrantbe spentoncleaningupthesidewalk, upgradinglandscaping/ frontagein frontandadjacentto theproperty? Yes, webelievethegrantcanbeusedto makephysicalupgradesto thepropertyandprovidefor maintenanceof thepropertyduringthedurationof thegrant. Ourabilityto affectneighboringpropertiesis limitedasthosepropertiesareprivatelyowned. However, to theextent possible, theCitywill exploresuchoptions.

IbelieveCityownedthesidewalknow , soatleastonethingtheCitycandoispowerwashtheentiresidewalkandthat won’t relatetoanyprivateownedmatter. Canthegrantfundpayforthatserviceinthose2years? 3) Thedurationfor thisgrantis two (2) years, whatwill happenif thefundsrunoutbeforethetwo (2) yearperiod? Whowillbearresponsibilityto continueto payfor theproperty? Shouldtheplanto revitalize thepropertyfail, arewerequiredto returnthefund? Webelievethegrantis adequateto coverexpenses associatedwiththeoperationsof theprojectfor a periodof twoyears. Asyouareaware, theCityhas beenprovidingsecurityat thispropertyandtheCoveredWagonsincewepurchasedit. Asproperty owners, wewill continueto ensurethatpropersecurityandmaintenanceis providedat theproperty.

Pleaseanswermyquestionsif thathappens. TheCitybetterbemanagedtheexpensesandwhathappensif it fail? Who isresponsibleforit?
4) AssumingtheCityis approvedfor thegrant, doesAnaheimplanonholdingmeetingor conducting communityoutreachwithWestAnaheimresidents? Absolutely! Communityinvolvementwillbeintegral to thelife andsuccessof theproject. Thegoalof theprojectitselfis to createa communityspacethatwill be visitedandenjoyedby residentsof all agesthroughoutthetwoyeardurationof theproject – school- agechildren, seniors, youngadults, disabled, opento everyone.

Besideit’sa “communityspace” thatwillbevisitedandenjoybyourresidents, Whatelse’swillbenefitfor the residentsinthisarea?
5) Residentswouldliketo knowhowthecity plansto operatetheArt LodgeProject:
a) Whattypeof permitwill berequired? Asa temporaryuseona Cityownedpropertythereis nopermittingrequirement. However, therewill berobustcommunityengagementshouldthegrantbe awardedandtheprojectwereto moveforward. TheCitywill havetheabilityto enforceoperational standardsandmodifythosestandardsshouldadditionalmeasuresbe necessary. b) Whois responsiblefor thedailyoperationof thelocation?

c) Whois responsiblefor theupkeepandmaintenanceof thelocation? TheCity. 3 Whowill pay/ responsibleforutilitiesandpickuptrash?
d) Whatis thedefinitionof Art incubatorandArt Exhibit? Pleaseexplain. Existingmotelrooms wouldbe adaptivelyreusedas art studiosandgalleryspaces. e) Whatis thedefinitionof ArtistStudio? A placefor thecreationof art. Nota residence. f) DoesCityallowfor anyArtistto live on site/ overnight? No, wedonotenvisiontheresidential useof theproperty. We do expectthatwewouldhaveanon-sitecaretaker/propertymanagerthatwould live onthepropertyfull-time.

JustwanttotriplecheckedandpleaseconfirmthatCitydoesnotallowanyArtiststoliveonsite, exceptforproperty manager.? Iwouldlikethisinwriting, Please.
6) Whattypeof artwill bedisplayed: Landscape, humaninterest, political, specialgroup? Will the residentshaveinputon whattypeof art is selected? TheMUZEO, astheleadoperationalpartnerandan experiencedculturalandartsinstitutionin theCity, will workwiththeCityandcommunityto outlinethe parametersfor selectingartistsfor thestudiospaces, designingpublicart installationsandplanning communityevents.

Wewillcreatea Securityand OperationsPlan, in coordinationwiththeAnaheimPoliceDepartment, to ensurethatthepropertyis properlyoperatedandwill bean enhancementto thearea.
9) Parking:
a) Wherewill visitorsbepermittedto park? Weanticipatethatthemajorityof theexisting parkingspacesat thepropertywill be maintainedas parkingspaces, withthepotentialfora fewof the spacesnearthefrontof thepropertyto beconvertedto outdoorcommunityspaces. b) I wasadvisedthata tentativeplanwill be a parkingallocationat theCoveredWagonsite.

Thisis notin closeproximityto theAnaheimLodgeandif theCitywouldliketo moveforwardwiththis plan, thenthereneedto be bettersolutionto accountfor parking. WhiletheCoveredWagonis not adjacentto theAnaheimLodge, it is in closeproximity, withjustonepropertyseparatingthetwo properties (lessthan125feet). SincetheCoverWagonis nowdemolished, thereis approximatelyone acreof openspaceto accommodateparkingin additionto theparkingstallsavailableat theAnaheim Lodge.
c) DoestheCityplanto providesecurityat theCoveredWagonsiteaswell? Yes 10) Noise:
a) HowdoesCityplanto preventandcontrolnoisesothatnearbyresidentsarenotaffected? Artistswhoareselectedto participateat theAnaheimLodgewillbegivenanorientationonthehistoryof thesiteandbe requiredto be goodneighbors.

GoodmorningLauren,
Pleaseforwardthisemailto themayorandcouncilmembers.

I amwritingconcerningitem16of theCityCouncilAgendafor February7, 2023.

Thisitemwaspresentedanddiscussedduringmytermoncouncil. I didnotagreeto startingthisinvestigation whileanongoingFBIinvestigationwasbeingconducted. Thatbeingsaid, for thebenefitof thepublicandmy councilcolleaguesandunderstandingthescopewouldbelimited, I supportedthisprocess.

JLGroup'sbidfor thisinvestigationwasfor 6 monthsand $750,000. My councilcolleaguesandI selectedJL Groupbasedontheirpresentationandbid. Whenweacceptbidsfor servicesfromanyothercompany, theyare heldto theamounttheyagreedto in theircontract. Requestingdoublethecostandtimeisunreasonable.

In theinterestof transparency, I supportpresentingthefactsof theinvestigationto dateto thepublic. Oncewe knowwhathasbeen "discovered" thenwecandeterminewhatadditionaltimeandcostisnecessary, if needed.

Thankyoufor consideringmyperspective.

Mental Health Education
Grade 7-8 Instructional Materials Assessment Tool
This tool is a fillable form for educators to assess curriculum, supplemental materials, and other instructional materials used for the purpose of teaching mental health education to middle or high school students for alignment with SB 224 Mental Health Education requirements. SB 224 requires each school district, county office of education, state special school, and charter school that offers one or more courses in health education to pupils in middle school or high school to include in those courses instruction in mental health that meets the requirements of the bill, as specified.

Rating Definitions
Compliant Needs minor adaptations Needs major adaptations LEA/ Educator responsibility This meets the base requirements
of SB 224 Mental Health
Education ( Ed Code 51925- 8)
This ranking does not imply any
assessment about the modality or
address the depth of the content.

LEAs should review materials
thoroughly, even when criteria are
marked compliant.

This criterion is not met entirely,
but requires only minor
modification to become compliant
e.g., including a concept or
definition).

This rating can be used when the
facilitation instruction is unclear
but can be reasonably modified
for clarity.

These changes can happen at the
LEA level and often a suggestion
is made to assist.

This criterion is not met entirely
and the changes that need to be
made are substantive, including
removal of information,
modification of thematic elements
throughout a curriculum and/ or a
major topic is missing entirely.

These changes are not possible
at the LEA level.

It is recommended that this
criterion reflect changes to be
addressed by the
publishers/ authors.

There are a few criteria that are
uniformly ranked with gray
coloring because it is the
responsibility of the LEA
curriculum leadership, teachers,
administrators, etc.) to meet these
criteria.

This includes examples such as
the LEA requirement for
curriculum to be modified for
students with disabilities or
English Language Learners.

Mental Health Education
Grade 9-12 Instructional Materials Assessment Tool
This tool is a fillable form for educators to assess curriculum, supplemental materials, and other instructional materials used for the purpose of teaching mental health education to middle or high school students for alignment with SB 224 Mental Health Education requirements. SB 224 requires each school district, county office of education, state special school, and charter school that offers one or more courses in health education to pupils in middle school or high school to include in those courses instruction in mental health that meets the requirements of the bill, as specified.

Rating Definitions
Compliant Needs minor adaptations Needs major adaptations LEA/ Educator responsibility This meets the base requirements
of SB 224 Mental Health
Education ( Ed Code 51925- 8)
This ranking does not imply any
assessment about the modality or
address the depth of the content.

LEAs should review materials
thoroughly, even when criteria are
marked compliant.

This criterion is not met entirely,
but requires only minor
modification to become compliant
e.g., including a concept or
definition).

This rating can be used when the
facilitation instruction is unclear
but can be reasonably modified
for clarity.

These changes can happen at the
LEA level and often a suggestion
is made to assist.

This criterion is not met entirely
and the changes that need to be
made are substantive, including
removal of information,
modification of thematic elements
throughout a curriculum and/ or a
major topic is missing entirely.

These changes are not possible
at the LEA level.

It is recommended that this
criterion reflect changes to be
addressed by the
publishers/ authors.

There are a few criteria that are
uniformly ranked with gray
coloring because it is the
responsibility of the LEA
curriculum leadership, teachers,
administrators, etc.) to meet these
criteria.

This includes examples such as
the LEA requirement for
curriculum to be modified for
students with disabilities or
English Language Learners.

Workforce Education & Training
WET) – Part II
Aligning State and Regional Initiatives
and Proposed Expansion of Local Efforts
Overview
Recap - Overview
In 2004, the Mental Health Services Act ( MHSA) was passed to provide an opportunity for California’ s counties to increase access to public mental health services, including increased staffing and other resources that support public mental health programs.

To address the public mental health workforce issues, the MHSA included a component for Mental Health Workforce Education and Training ( WET) programs.

Workforce Education and Training ( WET) is designed to:

Address shortages of behavioral health workers, including underrepresentation of professionals/ paraprofessionals with lived experience.

Address shortages of individuals who are from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural communities.

Develop the competencies of the behavioral health workforce.

Implement retention strategies.

Overarching
Goals
Develop a sufficient number of
qualified individuals for the public
behavioral health workforce
To increase the quality and success of
services through educating and
training the public behavioral health
workforce
To increase the partnership and
collaboration of all entities involved in
public behavioral health workforce
education and training
County/ State
Workforce
Education and
Training ( WET)
Strategies and
Plans
County WET plans can be funded by the MHSA
through a transfer of up to 20% of the
5- year average of MHSA funds received.

The up to 20% transfer also sustains the
capital facilities and technological needs
component and prudent reserve.

Counties must integrate their WET component
into their MHSA Three- Year Program and
Expenditure Plan.

Counties must propose programs and activities
that, in combination with state WET programs,
address the County’ s self- assessed WET needs.

County WET plans combine with state WET
programs, administered through regional
partnerships, to maximize impact.

Each funded program/ training/ strategy must
address the county’ s identified WET needs.

Non- Allowable
for WET Funds
Supplant existing programs and activities
Paying staff time for delivery of mental health services Personnel line- item costs, language proficiency pay differential, staff time to attend training ( except 20/ 20 programs)
Technology hardware, software, and associated costs for EHR systems Recruiting or retention needs of other systems

Expertsareincreasinglywarningof a connectionbetweenheavy social mediauseandmentalhealthissuesin children — ahottopic now drivingmajorlawsuitsagainsttechgiants.

Whyit matters: SeattlePublicSchools' recentlyfiledlawsuitagainstTikTok, Meta, Snapand others — whichaccusesthe socialmediagiantsof contributingto a youthmentalhealthcrisis — is oneof hundredsof similar cases.

Backstory: In a landmarkrulingin October, a BritishauthorityfoundMeta- ownedInstagramculpableforthesuicideof 14-year-oldMollyRussellafter shewasexposedto self-harmcontentontheplatform.

Duringtheinquest, executivesfromMetaandPinterestapologizedforthecontentMollysaw.

Thecoronerrequestedthatthosecompaniesandotherstakevariousactionstopreventfuturedeaths, including settingupseparateplatformsforchildrenandadults.

Whereit stands: TwengeandJonathanHaidt, a socialpsychologistat New YorkUniversity, maintaina 256-pageGoogledocof allpublishedarticles aboutsocialmediaandmentalhealth.

It'smeanttoshedlightonthequestion: "Doessocialmediausecontributetotheriseofadolescentmooddisorders depressionandanxiety) andrelatedbehaviors (especiallyself-harmandsuicide) thatbeganaround2012/2013?" ItpaintsapictureofTikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. asaddictiveplatformsthatmakepeopleunhappierthemoretime theyspendonthem.

BidenCallsfor LimitingTechCompanies’ Useof
PersonalData, TargetedAds
1 Bothpartieshavecriticizedsocial-mediacompanies
WASHINGTON—PresidentBidencalledonlawmakersof bothpartiesto cometogetherto passlegislationto holdbigtechnologyandsocial-mediacompaniesaccountable, accusingsomein the industryof exploitingusers’ personaldataandendangering children.

In a Wednesdayopinionpiecein TheWallStreetJournal, Mr. Bidensaidthe legislation shouldprotectusers’ privacybyputtingin placelimits onhowcompaniesuse, collect andsharepersonaldata. Herecommendedlimitingtargetedadvertisingandbanningit altogetherfor minors.

Thepresidentreiteratedhis longstandingpushto rewriteSection230of the1996 CommunicationsDecencyAct, whichshieldscompaniesfromliability for contentusers postontheir sites. In addition, Mr. Bidenpressedfor moreinformationaboutthe algorithmscompaniesuseto filter informationto users.

Wemustholdsocial-mediacompaniesaccountablefor the experimenttheyarerunning onourchildrenfor profit,” Mr. Bidenwrote.

Healsocalledfor greatercompetitionin the tech sector. “Torealizethat vision, andto makesureAmericantech keepsleadingthe worldin cutting-edgeinnovation, weneed fairerrulesof the road,” hewrote. “Thenextgenerationof greatAmericancompanies shouldn’t besmotheredbythe dominantincumbentsbeforetheyhavea chanceto getoff the ground.”
Thetechindustrysaysit facessubstantialcompetition, andcompanieshavebroadly supporteda nationalprivacylaw aslongasit doesn’t disruptcoreadvertising businesses.

TheWhiteHousehassaidit raisedconcernsabout misinformationto social-mediacompanies, particularlyaboutCovid-19.

Mr. Bidenappearedto referencethe committeein the op-ed. “We’vehearda lot of talk aboutcreatingcommittees. It’s timeto walkthe walk andget somethingdone,” he wrote. A spokesmanfor the HouseJudiciaryCommittee, whichhousesthe new subcommittee, didn’t immediatelyrespondto a requestfor comment.

FollowingNovember’s midtermelection, whichusheredin dividedgovernmentin Washington, Mr. Bidenhasincreasinglyemphasizedpolicyareasthat hebelievescanwin bipartisansupport. In last year’s Stateof the Unionaddress, the presidentoutlinedhis pushfor bipartisanlegislationto reinin bigtechnologyandsocial-mediacompanies.

Privacylegislation, especiallyaddressingthe collectionof dataaboutchildren’s online activities, haslongbeenanareaof interestonCapitolHill, thoughlawmakershavefailed 3 to hammerout a broad, bipartisancompromise.

TheAmericantech industryis the mostinnovativein the world. I’m proudof whatit has accomplished, andof the manytalented, committedpeoplewhoworkin this industry everyday. Butlike manyAmericans, I’mconcernedabouthowsomein the industry collect, shareandexploitourmostpersonaldata, deepenextremismandpolarizationin ourcountry, tilt oureconomy’s playingfield, violatethe civil rightsof womenand minorities, andevenput ourchildrenat risk.

Asmyadministrationworksto addressthesechallengeswith the legalauthoritywe have, I urgeDemocratsandRepublicansto cometogetherto passstrongbipartisan legislationto holdBigTechaccountable.

TherisksBigTechposesfor ordinaryAmericansareclear. BigTechcompaniescollect hugeamountsof dataonthe thingswe buy, onthe websiteswevisit, onthe placeswe goand, mosttroublingof all, onourchildren. AsI saidlast yearin myStateof the Union address, millionsof youngpeoplearestrugglingwith bullying, violence, traumaand mentalhealth. Wemustholdsocial-mediacompaniesaccountablefor theexperiment theyarerunningonourchildrenfor profit.

TokeepAmericansontheir platforms, BigTechcompaniesoftenuseusers’ personal datato directthemtowardextremeandpolarizingcontentthat is likely to keepthem loggedonandclicking. All too often, tragicviolencehasbeenlinkedto toxic onlineecho chambers.

What’s more, socialmediaandotherplatformshaveallowedabusiveandevencriminal conduct, like cyberstalking, childsexualexploitation, nonconsensualpornography, and salesof dangerousdrugs. In othercases, BigTechcompanieshaveelbowedmom-and- popbusinessesout fromtheirplatforms, disadvantagedthem, or chargedthem outlandishprices, makingit harderfor themto competeandgrow, andtherebystifling innovation.

Thesearejust someof the reasonsI’vepushedfor legislationto holdBigTech accountable. Fromthe start of myadministration, I’veembracedthreebroadprinciples for reform.

First, weneedseriousfederalprotectionsfor Americans’ privacy. Thatmeansclear limits onhowcompaniescancollect, useandsharehighlypersonaldata—yourinternet history, yourpersonalcommunications, yourlocation, andyourhealth, geneticand biometricdata. It’s not enoughfor companiesto disclosewhatdatathey’re collecting.

Muchof that datashouldn’t becollectedin the first place. Theseprotectionsshouldbe evenstrongerfor youngpeople, whoareespeciallyvulnerableonline. Weshouldlimit targetedadvertisingandbanit altogetherfor children.

Second, we needBigTechcompaniesto take responsibilityfor thecontenttheyspread andthe algorithmstheyuse. That’s whyI’velongsaidwemustfundamentallyreform Section230of the CommunicationsDecencyAct, whichprotectstechcompaniesfrom legalresponsibilityfor contentpostedontheir sites. Wealsoneedfar moretransparency aboutthe algorithmsBigTechis usingto stopthemfromdiscriminating, keeping opportunitiesawayfromequallyqualifiedwomenandminorities, or pushingcontentto childrenthat threatenstheir mentalhealthandsafety.

Third, weneedto bringmorecompetitionbackto the tech sector. Myadministrationhas madestrongprogressin promotingcompetitionthroughoutthe economy, consistentwith myJuly2021executiveorder. Butthereis morewecando. Whentech platformsget big enough, manyfindwaysto promotetheir ownproductswhileexcludingor disadvantagingcompetitors—or chargecompetitorsa fortuneto sell ontheirplatform.

Myvisionfor oureconomyis onein whicheveryone—smallandmidsizedbusinesses, mom-and-popshops, entrepreneurs—cancompeteona levelplayingfieldwith the biggestcompanies. Torealizethat vision, andto makesureAmericantechkeepsleading the worldin cutting-edgeinnovation, weneedfairerrulesof the road. Thenext generationof greatAmericancompaniesshouldn’t besmotheredbythedominant incumbentsbeforetheyhavea chanceto get off the ground.

Fortwo years, myadministrationhasbeenhardat workputtingtheseprinciplesinto practice, to the extentthat existinglawslet us. Myadministrationis developingnew privacyrulesfor commercialdata. Wearefightingalgorithmicdiscriminationagainst 3 protectedgroupsandhavereleaseda straightforwardset of bestpracticesfor governmentandindustry. Weareworkingwith domesticandglobalpartnersto make onlinesafetya priority, andwerecentlysecureda significantfundingboostfor our antitrustenforcers, sotheycancontinueto meetthe tech sector’s newchallenges.

Butourexistingauthorityhaslimits. WeneedbipartisanactionfromCongressto hold BigTechaccountable. We’vehearda lot of talk aboutcreatingcommittees. It’s timeto walk the walkandget somethingdone. Therewill bemanypolicyissueswedisagreeon in the newCongress, but bipartisanproposalsto protectourprivacyandourchildren; to preventdiscrimination, sexualexploitation, andcyberstalking; andto tackle anticompetitiveconductshouldn’t separateus. Let’s unitebehindoursharedvaluesand showthe nationwecanworktogetherto get the jobdone.

Mr. Bidenis presidentof the UnitedStates.
