Excellent article. Many points struck a nerve:
- EFF et al not supporting Mactaggart's ballot proposal because it wasn't perfect - a classic case of "perfect being enemy of good", which we have seen so many times across so many issues. Why can't people lock in incremental progress and then work towards improving things further?
- It took a rich man with a few million at his disposal to fight this battle. What can an ordinary citizen do?
- Facebook trying to alter Illinois law stealthily - the legislator who tried to sell out should be tarred and feathered and should probably never be elected to office again.
- Incredible power and influence wielded by Google, Facebook and other tech co's - one thing which could really help here would be a "woke" employee base in these companies, who can influence change from inside these companies. Let's see if Silicon Valley folks really want to make the world a better place or were they just empty words!
