Early Facebook investor Roger McNamee wrote a pressing letter to Joe Biden urging him not to trust Silicon Valley on tech policy

Early Facebook investor Roger McNamee urged presidential hopeful Joe Biden not to trust Silicon Valley's leaders for guidance on tech policy, per a Wired op-ed published Thursday.McNamee was once a mentor to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and has since become an outspoken critic of Silicon Valley.

"In the era of George Floyd, Silicon Valley's leaders are the last people to provide you with guidance on technology policy," McNamee wrote. "Their companies and their community should instead be targets for reform." The businessman critiqued Silicon Valley's "elitist and authoritarian" culture and its business models. He wrote of how companies have provided a platform for conspiracy theorists and extremists, harbored an excess of power, and prioritized profit without consideration for moral and environmental ramifications, among other transgressions.
