[governance] VIDEO: Tech policy 2015: The year ahead @AEI

[Joly MacFie]

The AEI is a Washington DC thijnk tank established in 1938. While nominally
non-partisan, they are known for harboring right wing viewpoints. As the
Republican-controlled 114th Congress gets under way there is refreshed
vigor in tackling tech issues. Much of this is summed up in Senator Thune's
talk here, which lays out a comprehensive agenda.

We've already seen the House and Senate launch their own Open Internet
scheme. The FCC panelists seemed all to be resigned to a Title II
reclassication, and predicted it would turn out messy. The policy panel
considered that technical issues had become over politicized. Effort has to
be made by both sides to find compromise solutions. The CommActUpdate will
take time. The third 'governance' panel was spiced up by the presence of
David Post and Ambassador David Gross. In his remarks the Senator had
mentioned that Congress intends a hands on approach to the IANA transition.
He promised a hearing. Another topic was the announcement the day before by
the President of France that social media could be penalized for harboring
hate speech, with Andrea Glorioso from the audience invoking the specter of
global resistance to "US First Amendment imperialism" which was responded
to by another audience member who criticized European privacy
exceptionalism. There was back and forth over who has the real power,
states or the private sector.

I've broken the 4 hour live webcast into segments. Remember that you can
set YouTube to run at up to 2x speed to skim.
