The Wall Street Journal #IStandWithEvan

Today marks 55 weeks that my friend and colleague The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been wrongfully detained by Russia.

Evan is a great reporter and an even better person. We're not stopping until he's back with his family and friends.

#FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan

Today is an awful anniversary. Evan Gershkovich shouldn't have spent a day in jail, let alone a year, just for doing his job as a Wall Street Journal reporter.

WSJ staffers & friends in SF have joined colleagues worldwide this week to show our support for Evan & his family.

One year.

His story should be here.

Evan has been unjustly detained in a Russian prison for almost 1 full year now with no end in sight.

He deserves to come home. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan

Yes, and the real tell is that there many other policy tools available: If the fear is TikTok is sending user data to the CCP, then pass data transparency rules and enforce a no-tracking option on social apps. But *US* tech giants would throw a fit, so that's off the table.

New: Google's genAI search has sent publishers scrambling to prepare for a significant disruption in organic search traffic, ranging from 20% to 60%, according to sources. This translates to a $2B annual ad revenue loss.
