#policywonks Interested to know if this happens in other fields? Tech policy is littered with overly simple solutions that will never do what it says on the tin but which *can* easily be communicated to the media or understood by politicians with low technical literacy.

No joke, the owners of The Onion should make Dan and Jordan from Knowledge Fight editors-in-chief of #infowars #policywonks #SandyHook #AlexJonesisACunt

Or maybe that's too harsh. After all, #TechPolicy is a game that everyone can play - and more importantly, it's a game everyone *should* play. The contours of #TechRegulation and implementation touch rub up against nearly every aspect of our lives, and part of the reason it's such a mess is that the field has been gatekept to shit, turned into a three-way fight between #technologists, #PolicyWonks and #economists.
