Techies have entered the Political World

Big week for tech and politics. Facebook & YELP stop contributing to ALEC.  Tech companies are in high gear hiring consultants at record levels to navigate politics and government. Search warrants that make tech companies turn over terabytes of storage, angering their tech users, automatically sparks the attention of their lawyers, which in turn, causes consultant hiring. It’s a limbic reaction.  The Government taking “cloud property” is as evil as taking real property to Libertarian types. [Buzzfeed]
