Govt warned against overregulating technology

THE co-founder of a social-impact tech startup has warned the government against overregulating technology in the country. "A lot of us are worried about overregulation," Connected Women Chief Executive Officer Gina Romero said in an interview on "Business and Politics," a weekly program hosted by The Manila Times Chairman Dante "Klink" Ang 2nd, and aired on SMNI Saturday evening. "Because this is a booming opportunity for the country, overregulating will potentially cause it to contract. We do not want to lose our potential there." Romero, a 2022 TOWNS (The Outstanding Women in Nation's Service) Awardee in Women Empowerment through ICT, emphasized that "technology allows us to impact more people and create more scale."
