Where Vice President Kamala Harris stands on tech policy

Democratic frontrunner Kamala Harris is a long-time friend to the tech industry. For those in Silicon Valley, some of whom have vocally supported former President Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance, Harris' California bona fides may make them think twice. Though Harris would continue President Biden's tech policy agenda, she'd likely be more hesitant to break up Big Tech and strip platforms of their liability shield. As San Francisco's top prosecutor, California's attorney general and the state's U.S. senator, Harris has had a long history with tech. While she is likely to carry out many tech policy initiatives Biden already started, we expect a friendlier tone toward companies, especially as she is likely to keep focus on reproductive rights, immigration and democracy.
