“A Digital Responsibility Statement”
My fellow Americans,the internet has become the main street of our democracy— where we work, bank, learn, and speak. We must treat our digital lives as civic spaces, not lawless frontiers. That means each of us has a responsibility: to protect our data, read what we sign,and refuse to fall for or spread scams. We must guard our privacy—not only with better laws and safeguards from companies, but with everyday choices: stronger passwords, careful sharing, and a healthy skepticism about offers that seem too good to be true.We must protect our most vulnerable: children, seniors, and those less tech savvy, who are often targeted first and hurt the worst. It is on all of us to educate, to warn, and to advocate.And we must insist on integrity in our online speech. Disinformation and harassment corrode public life. What we post, like what we say on the Senate floor, should meet a basic standard of truth and respect. At the end of each day, let’s ask ourselves: Did my digital choices strengthen trust—in my family, my community, my country—or weaken it? That’s how, click by click, we build a safer, fairer digital America for everyone.
