## Summary

Ellysse Dick, a policy analyst at the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF), has authored ten publications on VR and AR policy over the past year. ITIF, a non-partisan, non-profit tech policy think tank, promotes innovation by advocating for limited government intervention, emphasizing that "disruptive innovation almost always leads to economic and social progress." Their approach aligns with libertarian ideals, focusing on carefully tailored regulations to support technological advancement without stifling growth. While ITIF maintains independence, its positions often align with those of Facebook, which is both a financial supporter of ITIF and has listed the organization in its political engagement disclosures. Facebook notes that such affiliations do not constitute full endorsement of ITIF’s policies. Dick asserts editorial independence in her research, though the overlap between ITIF’s positions and Facebook’s implicit interests suggests shared policy goals.
