President-elect Joe Biden has yet to propose any tech-related legislation. But Biden previously took a staunch stance on the issue, calling for reform measures including revoking Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which stipulates that big tech companies are not responsible for their users’ content. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for repeal of that section in his continuing dispute with social media companies.
Using the generic “you” can help make ideas resonate, research on what readers highlight indicates.
Writers often use the word “you” generically to make an idea seem more universal, even though it might not be.

Previously, researchers have found that heightened resonance can result from altering a message’s content, either to evoke emotion, highlight its applicability to a person’s life, or appeal to a person’s beliefs.
