Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is rattling Silicon Valley
Hawley, 39, has roots in Silicon Valley. He attended Stanford as a history major in the late 1990s. There was, he says, a lot of “big talk” of the greatness the internet was going to unleash. But it hasn’t panned out: “What they’ve given us in the last 20, 21 years, I think it’s really — it’s not much. They don’t have a whole heck of a lot to show for their efforts.”
Chilson, of the Koch group Stand Together, says Hawley’s work on tech as attorney general didn't raise concerns at the time because those were targeted cases within the traditional purview of the job. “That’s the job of an AG, to look at such issues," Chilson says. He has stopped short — for now — of echoing Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s call to break up the biggest tech companies. “This is why we go through the process of having investigations, gathering data," said Hawley. "Should we break them up? Maybe.”“I think the critiques miss the overwhelming value that our companies and industry bring both to Missouri and the entire country,” said Michael Beckerman, CEO and president of the industry group the Internet Association.
