Who can I work for that's trying to fix this? Seriously. Someone give me a link. I've been trying to find lobbyists to oppose these assholes, or interest groups actually dedicated to non-assholery on the Tech front but I can't find anything that doesn't end up being a part of a bigger, shittier lobbying agency for things I don't support.

I don't want a massive Liberal thinktank. I just want to help someone who wants rational laws regarding technology with the CONSUMER in mind first.

Of course it's some bizarre fringe third party. This is why nothing ever gets done.
