Zeitgeist/ Venus Project. TWLOHA. Egypt. NOH8 Campaign. Who Will Speak on Behalf of Social Media to the Next Congress? Maury Litwack is a lobbyist, former Hill staffer, opinion writer, and founder of Capitol Plan – A Comprehensive Washington Advocacy Strategy.
A great deal of ink has already been spilled attempting to “read the tea leaves” on what the midterm election results from earlier this month mean for social media. I would surmise that most of the prognostications are reading the relationship between social media and Washington incorrectly. Analysis has focused on which member of Congress supports or opposes important social media issues such as net neutrality and privacy. This analysis is off because it doesn't address the bigger question — who speaks for social media in Washington? Net neutrality clone.
