I understand the reasoning here, and it has a logic to it, but I think it’s wrong. The tech industry will simply become part of the problem, and politicians will become empowered — more suitors competing for their attention.

Instead, I believe the approach to GoDaddy is a better example: that bad policy will hurt politicians’ ability to maintain support.

The Internet, and thus the industry, has enormous reach with voters (and lobbyers like GoDaddy). Swaying the support system is our best bet, and much more honest.
