Yelp, Facebook and Google are members of ALEC. Hopefully this latest development will provide the public attention needed for them to drop their support, although I'm not particularly hopeful.
For those who are unaware, ALEC is well known for their lobbying efforts in:
Stand Your Ground laws
Voter ID
Anti-Abortion choice
Privatization of Education
Privatization of Prisons
Killing renewable energy adoption
The Keystone XL Pipeline
Arizona’s SB 1070 Immigration Law
Stopping the EPA from regulating the coal industry
Pushing against bans on cigarette branding outside the US
