Cabinet Members Signal Conversation on Technology Regulation Legislation
Rubio (11:15 am ET): Morning, team. I’ve been looking at this new tech legislation proposal. Seems to be garnering a lot of attention. Thoughts?
Hegseth (11:17 am ET): Well, it’s high time someone put the Silicon Valley tech gods in their place. They think they’re above any form of regulation. 😤
Vance (11:18 am ET): I’ve reviewed the bill in detail. While I agree that tech needs a regulatory framework, I have concerns with how the current legislation is structured.
Gabbard (11:21 am ET): Same here, Vance. Loving the patriotic stance though, Hegseth. 🇺🇸
Bessent (11:22 am ET): I’m more concerned about the impact on innovation, but, of course, we can’t disregard the ethical issues.💡
Waltz (11:24 am ET): Let’s stick to the agenda. We need to consider the potential ramifications for national security. It’s a fine balance.
Miller (11:26 am ET): Balancing? I say let’s crush them! They’ve had their way long enough.
Witkoff (11:28 am ET): Stephen, care to elaborate? This isn’t a WWE match. 😄
Vance (11:31 am ET): The purpose of regulation should be to ensure fair competition, prevent cybercrime, protect users’ privacy and ensure national security. It isn’t about crushing anyone, Stephen.
Miller (11:33 am ET): Well, it should be. They’ve slipped through the cracks for far too long.
Rubio (11:35 am ET): I would like to remind us all here that we’re not Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. We don’t just “crush” businesses. The purpose here is to provide solutions, not create more problems.
Kent (11:37 am ET): Well put, Rubio. Let’s not become the monsters we’re trying to battle. Now, if we could all get back to the legislation…
Gabbard (11:39 am ET): I’m with Rubio on this one. Also, Kent, I like your level-headed approach. Always refreshing. 😊
Rubio (11:40 am ET): Thank you, Tulsi.
Wiles (11:42 am ET): Guys, we need to wrap this up. We’re bouncing around more than a ping-pong ball in a wind tunnel. Let’s get back to discussing the new legislation.
Ratcliffe (11:45 am ET): Agreed. To avoid this becoming a circus, let’s stick to facts, figures, and logical reasoning.
