[governance] RE: [IRPCoalition] Ex-White House Official Joins Group Fighting "Excessive" Online Privacy Laws

[michael gurstein]

You are right, a wee bit too cryptic...

To rephrase "And what better way (for those who are benefiting from the
current status quo and its absence of regulation) than to ensure that there
are no global regulatory frameworks or mechanisms that will ultimately need
to be captured" (shall we call it the "prophylactic strategy")?

[Milton L Mueller]  Um. Either I don't understand what you are saying or you
don't quite understand the concept of regulatory capture. We can have a
coherent debate on "we need global regulation" vs. "we don't need it", and
we can have a coherent debate about whether regulatory agency X has or has
not been captured, but I would submit that the assertion above is literally
meaningless.
