Recently we discussed the following:
-
General thoughts on technology as a public policy issue — what’s going on and why?
-
Thoughts on how the political right is approaching technology policy – what we get right and wrong and how we can do better.
-
Antitrust, Section 230, and other important issues.
I hope you enjoy the conversation!
