Free Thoughts, Ep. 261: Emerging Tech (with Matthew Feeney)
Channel: Libertarianism.org
Date: 19/10/2018

Like economic policy, it can be hard to judge relative freedom of tech policy. Depending on the tech policy we are referring to, the United States is still a massive hub and innovator. That is not to say that we do not have current regulations that inhibit innovation of certain emerging tech sectors. Naturally, with new technology, comes fear of the unknown and we have to make sure that we do not succumb to those fears, which could result in limiting our ability to develop the tech to the fullest extent. 

How do we address the federalism question when it comes to tech policy? When it comes to emerging tech, are forced to imagine threats? Should we be concerned about the level of pervasive private surveillance? What threat do Amazon, Google, and Facebook pose since they centralize our data?
