Classic tactic

Facebook, Google and Microsoft have used these tactics as well, purporting to support legislation that effectively would nuke their own business model (or, in Microsoft's case, part of it, or did you really think that the "privacy protection" links in Office 365 are not trackers?).

The idea is to get out in front and control any legislation before sane people get to work on it.

It's absolute classic Russion: camouflaged subversion.

I'm not buying it for a second, and I don't think I'm alone in this.
