[governance] the ban and the tech industry

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi

Quite a frantic weekend, with news developing every minute:

White House Official, in Reversal, Says Green Card Holders Won’t Be Barred
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/29/us/politics/white-house-official-in-reversal-says-green-card-holders-wont-be-barred.html

and also this

Silicon Valley’s Ambivalence Toward Trump Turns to Anger
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/29/technology/silicon-valleys-ambivalence-toward-trump-turns-to-anger.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=b-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

While it is early in the game, it will be quite interesting to see the
power internet companies have to pressure a government on a social
theme.

This sounds like the ban is a theme for internet governance too.

Best,

Renata
