"I actually think we should look to the clinton administration for how they handled the early internet," he says. "They orchestrated around the phrase, do no harm." And soi slowly, but surely, we we worked up on the regulatory apparatus,. Do we get it perfect? No, of course not. But i think that was ultimately the right play book for that time and space".

This episode is a first for Acquired: we’re joined by a sitting US Congressman (from Ben’s home state of Ohio!), Republican House Representative Anthony Gonzalez. Anthony serves on the House Financial Services Committee and is deeply involved in crypto and Web3 regulation, as well as on the Climate and Science, Space & Technology Committee where he oversees NASA among many other agencies. His also has an absolutely incredible story — his family immigrated from Cuba to Ohio, he played in the NFL, he was COO of an Investment Group of Santa Barbara backed startup, and he was one of a small number of Republican congresspeople who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after the events January 6th.
