New appointment shows there may be regulation ahead

President-elect Joe Biden’s top technology adviser helped craft California’s landmark online privacy law and recently condemned a controversial federal statute that protects internet companies from liability.

Bruce Reed, a former Biden chief of staff who is expected to take a significant role in the new administration, may be key to understanding how Biden may come down on two key tech policy issues.
