White House Hires Twitter Lawyer
It’s about time some of the cool internet hipster lawyers get into integral government positions. The White House has invited Nicole Wong, Twitter’s legal director, to be the first chief privacy officer’s legal director. Nicole is one of these cool cats who hung out as vice president and deputy general counsel at Google for eight years before going on to manage a team of lawyers at Twitter, being nominated as “The Decider” as she reviewed products before they were launched.
 
It only makes sense, after all, that the White House would start inviting staff in that have experience with this new-fangled technology that so dominates the rest of the world nowadays.
 
Wong will replace Todd Park as senior adviser to the chief technology adviser, and will advise on Internet and privacy policy. It is imagined that since she has worked with Twitter on these matters, she will bring a wealth of relevant experience to the front, and perhaps help instigate legislation that works well in the technological world we live in.
 
It is perhaps the start of a new type of hiring for the White House, as they have not included such technologically savvy legal picks before. Perhaps now that IP is the way it is, such picks will become inevitable in the future.
