Tech people have tech knowledge, but they are not policy experts. Our job is to give the people creating policy information on our area of expertise, not theirs. If you don't agree, look at that comments on this post. They are shallow and tech centric, not considering all of the various impacts of a comprehensive policy.
- peterwei87 5y agoIt's not obvious that Ms. Haugen provides any additional expertise in policy matters. What are her achievements in the policy space that merit deference to expertise?
- ineedasername 5y agoHer expertise and motives are separate from the public utility of what she revealed. I'm not going to denounce her for leaking this material: I can separate the utility of having this material in the public record from her reasons for putting it there. As for her expertise, she worked in FB's civic integrity unit as a product manager. I may disagree with her, but she does have a reasonable basis to claim better knowledge on the topic than the average person.
