I am very pleased to be appointed as a nonresident senior fellow at Lincoln Network.
Lincoln Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 with a mission to help bridge the gap between Silicon Valley and DC, advancing a more perfect union between technology and the American republic. We believe in a world of free people and competitive markets, and that fostering a robust innovation ecosystem is crucial to creating a better, freer, and more abundant future.
...With a cross-partisan portfolio of issues and staff from diverse backgrounds in technology and policy located on both coasts, we have built expansive networks across different sectors and ideological lines.
My interests in social media (in the broadest, forward-looking sense) seem to be in particular alignment with those expressed in this piece by Lincoln Network Executive Director Zach Graves, with the tagline that "Interoperability and open protocols can solve many of the problems of centralized cyber power without a heavy regulatory hand," and also noting that "achieving (optimal) interoperability may sometimes require government action to address coordination problems, misaligned incentives, or overcome existing regulatory barriers."
