Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has called for the shutdown of Instagram’s new map feature, citing concerns for children's safety in a letter co-signed with Senator Marsha Blackburn. The feature allows real-time location sharing, which the senators argue could expose children to dangerous individuals. Blumenthal emphasized that “Big Tech's track record of protecting children is abysmal.”
Additionally, Blumenthal demanded greater oversight from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to address rising energy costs in Connecticut and proposed the American Housing and Economic Mobility Act to increase affordable housing supply. He also supported the Medical Debt Relief Act, aiming to prevent medical debts from affecting credit reports.
