Thanks Tim! Yes we need a lobbying group to go up against big business (which of course now includes the likes of “Don’t be evil” tech entrepreneurs who need some education on what the word evil means to the other 99.9999% of Homo sapiens).

And lobbying requires money to go up against the big business lobbyists. I hope the Web Foundation has enough funding. Maybe it needs to market itself to the average person — I’m not sure if I ever heard of it (common name) and I’m not sure if there are other NGO/lobbying groups who claim to do the same (or maybe are funded by big business e.g to disperse power to make us all ineffective). So I wonder what marketing message, hashtag or whatever needs to be promoted to ask people to have one less cup of coffee or bagel or whatever a month and vote with your dollars and fund such an effort — since we don’t have a Teddy Roosevelt to succeed at something of this magnitude, we’re really going to have to fight for it instead of just posting on Facebook / social media.
