A better tech platform for Hillary Clinton

[Commentary] The 2016 Democratic Party Platform fails to offer meaningful improvements to national tech policy that would improve cybersecurity. Americans deserve a plan that would strengthen networks, bolster security, and safeguard civil liberties. Progressive and tech advocates must begin to engage cybersecurity policy in earnest. Without policy experts capable of translating progressive ideals into digital policies, laws will continue to be crafted by those who view the internet as a space to surveil, and a domain of war, and not as a space for the overcoming of barriers, growing commerce, and spreading humanity's best ideals.
