National security on the web will be the next topic tackled by Google at a meeting it holds regularly in Washington, D.C., to highlight web-related issues for regulators and staffers of congressmen. This latest topic is appropriate, given the Obama administration’s recent creation of a cybersecurity czar position. Google said today it would hold its next Google D.C. Talk on June 12. Previous talks have included sessions on cloud computing and privacy. Folks, possibly influenced by Microsoft lobbyists, are getting riled up about Google’s influence in Washington, but these sessions are still better than meetings behind closed doors between lobbyists and staffers. To make it even more open, it would be great if Google would webcast these discussions and post the video afterward. I’d like to see what Google is telling D.C.
