![Look, we are ~thrilled~ that the Trump administration is over. But unfortunately that doesn't mean all the issues we are facing just magically go away- especially in the realm of big tech regulation.
Some media reports are indicating that the Biden administration is planning on putting silicon valley execs and lobbyists into key roles in the govt. This does not bode very well for the regulation of big tech to ultimately hold them accountable and minimise harm. We in Australia are not immune to the consequences of decisions made about big tech in the US. We will be watching closely 👀
Our Chair, Lizzie, wrote on the things to watch for under a Biden administration back in November- head to The Baffler to give it a read!
