Consumer Choice Center

Around the world, consumer choice is under pressure. New rules, new bans, new limits — shaping what we buy, what we use, and how we live. But consumers deserve better. Consumer Choice Center — an independent, non-partisan global advocacy group. We champion freedom of choice, innovation, and abundance in everyday life. We use research, data, storytelling, and on-the-ground activism to make sure your voice is heard in parliaments, in the media, online, and on the streets. Across every continent, we are there where decisions are made. We empower people everywhere to speak up, stand up, and demand better. Tens of thousands of members. Dozens of campaigns. Because Your Choice is Our Fight.

There is a way to promote more American leadership on open weights and open source AI and it means allowing EVERYONE to compete fairly, not drifting toward regulatory capture. And by focusing on TOOLS, not just the models more in @TheNatlInterest: nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…

Great to see OpenAI + Google tag along to promote (just on 𝕏) the letter on Open Weights and 🇺🇸 leadership. ACTIONS speak louder than words. Users want capability and more open AI models, BUT we can't forget the record of frontier companies lobbying to undermine open source...

Zuckerberg at @Meta, Jensen at @nvidia, and open-source pioneers and leaders like @jack at @blocks are continuing to offer a TECH-POSITIVE vision of open intelligence and AI that is needed more than ever Doomsayers have their own motives, but people building see the good!

Trump’s push to launch a trade investigation into the EU’s Digital Markets Act is a good move As we’ve argued, the DMA discriminates against American tech entrepreneurs, and threatens burdensome fees and compliance costs that harm consumers. There must be a better way.

What’s it like on America’s only private passenger railroad? @YaelOss gives a review of the South Florida line of @GoBrightline Does it measure up to Europe or Asia? Private innovation and consumer travel FTW!

@ConsumerChoiceC Well said

The FDA and DEA are pulling a fast one on American consumers, rushing to make 7-OH a Schedule I drug. Here's why our leaders should embrace science rather than moral panic on smart kratom policy

@hankdnvn_ Thank you Hank

@ConsumerChoiceC The video makes a strong point, an unregulated market is a reason to create standards not impose prohibition.

@Blockr_Tey2 correct

@ConsumerChoiceC making natural 7OH schedule I would not educate consumers or improve product quality it would simply push them towards black market

25 US lawmakers took a bold stance against the EU’s misguided digital rules this week 👇 The #DMA handicaps US tech firms, mandating unnecessary fees + degraded experiences for consumers Imagine if America took the same approach to EU companies like Accenture, SAP, or Nokia...

Global mobility with autonomous cars, Miami edition — Let’s take a ride w/ @YaelOss

The EU is mandating a carry-on bag to be included for all airline tickets sold in the EU. But is this really the priority we should be talking about? @GaryLeff from ViewFromTheWing joins the ConsEUmer podcast to talk about it.

Global mobility with autonomous cars. Let’s take a ride in Miami for @ConsumerChoiceC Just $16 for a 4 mile trip over Biscayne Bay

New York has a housing crisis. And instead of confronting the regulations driving it, Albany banned pricing software used in less than 2% of rentals. That's not a solution. That's a politically convenient distraction. The fix has always been the same: reform zoning, cut permitting delays, and make it easier to build. No algorithm ban required.
