Declan McCullagh asks: Is it time for a GeekPAC? Given the disconnect between what geeks really know and what Congress thinks it knows about technology issues (including encryption, copyright, privacy, and internet speech), the answer would seem to be "yes". And McCullagh's article discusses fairly well the different kinds of organizations that might be effective, depending upon whether the goal is to affect elections or affect policy. But he takes a wrong turn when he says that this kind of political organizing is something the "technology industry" should do. As I noted here a little while ago, the tech industry is actually pretty bad on a number of these issues, and often unwilling to take into account much except what will affect next quarter's numbers. So yes, by all means, there should be a GeekPAC, but there should be a sign on the door that says, "No CEOs allowed."
