“Fair proceedings free from any suggestion of impartiality are essential to the integrity of our country’s judiciary”. I’m not sure that opening sentence says quite what they think it does.

Also seems like a good time to recycle the news about its 2019 12 new partners—11 white men, and 1 woman. Good thing the firm has promised to abandon DEI before things get out of hand. www.nytimes.com/2019/01/27/u...

Just at saw this. Great list. I’d like to be on it—I write about democratizing corporate governance. Thanks!

Our model of democratic participation leverages the underlying technologies to argue for the expansion of corporate voting rights.
In other words, the very technologies that have allowed Big Tech firms to put the squeeze on stakeholders makes it hard to resist extending them governance rights.

The same is true of social media users and their relationship with social media companies. They would be better able to effectuate their interests in online privacy and content moderation through governance input rather than through clickable contracts or (nonexistent) regulation.
