Engine returns to CLBR to discuss its Presidential Candidate Scorecard.  Engine is a research foundation and advocacy group that supports the growth of technology entrepreneurship through economic research, policy analysis, and advocacy on local and national issues.  In 2013, Michael McGeary joined us to discuss Engine’s Startup Day on Capitol Hill.

Today Engine’s Executive Director Evan Engstrom join us. As Executive Director and formerly, Engine’s first Policy Director, Evan develops Engine’s positions on the key policy issues facing startups and the tech community and manages the organization’s daily operations.



In releasing the scorecard, Engstrom stressed:



Given the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship to our national economy, it is hugely important that the presidential candidates address some of the most pressing issues facing American startups and tech companies.  The answers to these issues are not easy, and they will require a nuanced, thoughtful approach. But the results of this report card highlight the lack of understanding and attention being paid to these issues in the 2016 election cycle. There is an opportunity here for candidates to go on the record and champion policies that will help startups grow and thrive.

Apple Privacy Battle and SXSW Cyber Harassment Debate among topics discussed with Bennet Kelley and his return veteran tech journalist Dan Tynan.

We learn who are the winners and losers now that the FBI has cracked the Apple Code, the controversial and heavily guarded cyber harassment summit at SXSW, plus location tracking, Twitters 10th Anniversary.

Also,a vocal group of activists and people in media circles have charged that the News Genius Web annotation tool from the startup Genius can be used to harass and abuse people online. By effectively duplicating and attaching a line-by-line comments section to any article, with or without the consent of the author, they say that Genius silences writers.

In a letter sent to Genius earlier today, Congresswoman Katherine Clark (D.,Mass.) agreed with these critics,formally asking the company to clarify what actions it is taking to prevent possible abuse. In a letter provided toRe/code, Genius said that while it appreciated Rep. Clarks thoughts on online harassment, we want to be clear that Genius does not enable abuse. This is a false narrative that has taken hold on Twitter and other outlets.
