Biden may not fire off as many incendiary tweets as Trump. But, policy analysts say, Biden's approach to large tech platforms is driven by the bipartisan outcry over Silicon Valley's dominance https://t.co/VYRmcRN5fz

The Biden-Harris agency review teams are heavily represented by personnel from corporate board rooms, the professional managerial class & Beltway think tanks. It's a recipe for Obama 2.0

Pleased to see Biden's transition team includes a range of people from the tech sector. Tech is critically important across so much of policy — important for the new administration to have access to people with first hand insight https://t.co/ZkPqfV7U7j

It's confirmed. A crypto proponent is going to lead wall street regulation. Not only that but Gensler was involved in prosecuting the big banks for Libor manipulation back in the day. Don't tell Jamie Dimon...https://t.co/7aDPAvhvu2 #Bitcoin

Biden has a plan to reclassify gig workers as employees. I spoke to gig worker organizers, legal experts, and union officials about how to hold him accountable to this proposal—and what we can actually expect his administration would do. https://t.co/8bdUFqLgdZ
