Companies don't have to choose between meekly complying with bad laws that harm their users and limit their creativity and taking the risk of breaking the law. There is a third way: help pass good laws and block bad ones in the first place. This deck is just a teaser for our SXSW panel about how companies can make a difference in the tech policy debate.
