Thune, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Ban "Dark Patterns'
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 3, 2021
Tweet - "You know things are bad when you give a 15-minute speech touting a jobs report that CNBC called a "huge miss." Just over 200K new jobs added last month (vs 573K expected). With crisis after crisis looming, Pres. Biden is grasping at straws. It's delusional to claim this as a win."

Sen. John Thune
Oct. 5, 2021
Tweet - "Social Media algorithms force users into information bubbles where they're not hearing anything else. All to keep people glued on their platform and make more $$. Consumers deserve transparency & power over how their content is being filtered. @SenateCommerce , let's get to work."
