The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

America's tech leadership hangs in the balance as a chaotic patchwork of state regulations threatens to cripple AI innovation and hand China the victory in the global technology race. With over 1,100 poorly crafted state bills this year alone, lawmakers are creating regulatory chaos that will drive companies overseas and kill the jobs of tomorrow.

Establishment-critical narrative

Big Tech is trying to buy elections and silence democracy by flooding state races with corporate cash to protect profits over people's safety. Meta's tens of millions in political spending is a desperate attempt to avoid accountability for AI systems that could harm children and workers while concentrating even more power in Silicon Valley's hands.
