A better use of all that money would be to play the lobbying game the enemies of freedom so effectively play.
This is the the thing I completely fail to understand. If all these huge tech firms with all this cash really care about privacy, people, US reputation, etc, then why are they not pouring their money in to politics like, say, the weapons manufacturers do? Why aren't they "buying" politicians?
- joeshevland 13y agoI think a more sensible use of the money would be to 'fix' the ability to buy whatever legislation you want. Its really not a democracy any more when those wealthy enough can buy whatever legislation they want.
- alan_cx 13y agoUnfortunately I think a real sense of democracy is long gone. We are left having the play the only game left in town. Buy your influence then, influence.
