Major Tech Companies Finally Endorse Federal Privacy Regulation
The major tech companies, scared that states like California might impose actual privacy regulations, have now decided that they can better lobby the federal government for much weaker national legislation that will preempt any stricter state measures.
I’m sure they’ll still do all they can to weaken the California law, but they know they’ll do better at the national level.

Corporate lobbying is the scourge of representative governance.
It’s a dark day in the US when we have to geo-pretend to be Europeans to get basic privacy protections.
We need a boycott campaign, pronto.
