It seriously annoys me how much tech cos and those representing them are valued in tech policy conversations.
It speaks to the prevalence of the false "prodigal tech bro" narrative that only those who participated in creating the harm, once reformed, will be able to stop it.

Also undermines the value of those with non-tech co experience. I want to see those that have been fighting to protect people for year to be the top candidates considered.
