Congress blasted for bad tech legislation
InfoWorld | at | by Rod
CURRENT MEMBERS OF the U.S. Congress have introduced hundreds of technology-related bills, many of which signal a willingness among legislators to regulate this industry sector instead of letting market forces rule, according to a policy research group's report released Monday.
It labels twelve bills "destructive" because they aim to increase government involvement in the technology or telecommunication sector, promote regulatory decision making over voluntary action of the industry's players, or threaten civil liberties of U.S. citizens.
