12 Dec 2020
After an election year in which the tech giants repeatedly interfered in the election against President Donald Trump, Joe Biden is now rewarding Silicon Valley by appointing insiders to a range of roles in his transition team.
Shortly after election night, the
Financial Times reported that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is being considered to lead a key tech task force inside the White House.
As
Politico recently reported, four more Google and Facebook employees have been added to Biden’s transition team.
They are : Zaid Zaid, a Facebook public policy official, Chris Upperman, a Facebook manager, Rachel Lieber, a Facebook director and associate general counsel, and Deon Scott, a Google program manager who also worked in the Obama administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
