A Conversation with Ron Wyden
summary
Claims that Section 230 enabled the social web and that current bills like PROTECT IP (PIPA) would allow arbitrary domain seizures and hand enforcement to private companies, so a public hold blocks them. Proposes a warrant rule for geolocation tracking and a transparency demand for a secret Patriot Act interpretation, saying public law and covert practice diverge. Pushes specific fixes: update 25-year-old privacy law, tax and trade changes to favor digital goods, unemployment reforms as an entrepreneurship trampoline.
