Harvey Anderson

2. The past few years have seen an increase in the number of
regulatory, legislative and policy initiatives that threaten core
characteristics of the open web that we as users have come to
enjoy and rely upon. These threats come from both state actors

legislation in Washington, DC
By Amar Toor on July 11, 2012 03:59 am
Uber won a major victory in Washington, DC this week, when the City Council
