In the Assembly, Giselle will stand up for consumers, defend our right to online privacy and ensure the safety of children online. An accomplished businesswoman with a deep understanding of social media and evolving technology, Giselle is uniquely positioned to regulate the tech industry in an effective manner.

While California has the strongest online privacy regulations of any state in the country, the ever-changing nature of technology means we must continue to adapt and update our laws to continue to protect Californians. Giselle will ensure these laws change to keep up to date with new technology and expand regulations to better protect consumer information including medical and mental health data, protecting consumers from fraudulent practices and scams, and create more transparency around data breaches.

As a mother of young children, Giselle knows that children are especially vulnerable to exploitation, predatory behavior and other online dangers. She will protect children by supporting the creation of an Office for the Protection of Children Online, which will focus their privacy and well-being, and requiring tech companies to change their systems to avoid overuse and exploitation from strangers. She’ll also work to stop cyberbullying by requiring better reporting mechanisms from social media companies.
