"One of Biden's best photocopier kickers was and is Lina Khan. She embodies the incredible potential of a fully operational battle-station, which is to say that she embodies the awesome power of a skilled technocrat who is also deeply ethical and genuinely interested in helping the public."

#CoryDoctorow, 2025

Best blog passage of 2025 😅

But another way of saying "technocrat" is "someone who is very good at their job." And that's Khan.

You'll never guess what Khan is doing now: she's co-chairing Zohran Mamdani's transition team!

Fuck: I just learned that apparently #LinaKhan isn't a native-born US citizen.

Well shit. Perhaps she can be secretary of commerce.

I arrived late but caught @pluralistic talking about the post-American Internet. Now, the inimitable #LinaKhan discusses the dangerous ouroboros of cloud providers building AI models and benefiting from the consumption of their services… And “now, instead of McKinsey made me do it, they just say AI made me do it”

Khan discusses how the business model of the ad-driven internet drives harmful behavior. @pluralistic and #LinaKhan disagree about the role of #Section230 in exacerbating this issue. Khan discusses how 230 has shielded algorithmic feed curation and how it maybe doesn’t deserve the protection. Doctorow challenges that the issue isn’t 230 (which he says protects new entrants), but rather lack of privacy protections (which, tbf, Khan nods along to).

First #Conferencia4D and now #ColumbiaHertie, I feel like I’m following @pluralistic around the universe!

Lina Khan and Cory Doctorow on stage with Professor Adam Tooze at Columbia. The panel title on the screen reads “Wired for Conflict: the transatlantic divide over digital policy”
