@xogium is it due to the structure of posts that you have to read the whole post before getting to the images? Curious because I’ve tried sometimes adding #TagZone as a flag for where tags start in case someone wants to skip over them, but maybe that’s not useful if the post has an image?

Yesterday, Senators Wyden and Booker and Representative Clarke along with 14 other co-sponsors re-introduced the Algorithmic Accountability Act. While Congressional legislation may not seem super exciting, I am HYPED about this bill, and I wanted to share some of the reasons why.
