Welcome (back) to DC. How can the government attract and retain technologically literate people to help modernize the Federal Government, and address future regulatory issues related to "big tech?" The US Digital Service is a great idea, but it too small, in my opinion. Clearly more needs to be done to bring Congress up to speed on technology issues.
Related, the "self-regulatory" model in finance is plagued by potential conflicts of interest because the platform owners are also the regulators---therefore, is it even realistic to expect for-profit tech companies to be able to police themselves?
