Five regulatory fights facing tech in 2018

Here are five fights the tech world will be watching closely in 2018:

  1. Net neutrality
  2. Election transparency
  3. AT&T-Time Warner merger
  4. Cryptocurrency
  5. Sex-trafficking

Can net neutrality be a potent political issue for Democrats?

Democrats see an opportunity to capitalize on the massive backlash to the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to repeal its network neutrality rules. The question is whether the outrage on Reddit forums can translate into votes for Democratic candidates next fall given the fact that younger people engaged on the issue are often the least reliable voters — particularly in midterm elections.
