tech law: make it, don't break it
DESCRIPTION
Companies don't have to choose between meekly complying with bad laws that harm their users and limit their creativity and taking the risk of breaking the law. There is a third way: help pass good laws and block bad ones in the first place. This deck is just a teaser for our SXSW panel about how companies can make a difference in the tech policy debate.
