The companies doing this are not Silicon Valley companies. They're old phone companies, more or less, that became internet companies because they owned all the cable that was already laid.
And of course the politicians passing this don't give a shit about the Silicon Valley culture or ideals; Republicans care about profits for corporations because that means more fat donations to them.
- CaptainZapp 10y agoSilicon Valley culture of ideals ? No offense, but that's the most ludicrous statement I read in a long time. Silicon Valley is about money and power. Ideals, apart from "ideals" packed into cheesy marketing slogans, just don't play into that.
- mastazi 10y agoTo be fair, those old phone companies just wanted to be able to do the same thing that Google, Facebook and other SV companies are already doing. So much for the "Silicon Valley culture or ideals".
