I don’t want to do the standard West Coast stump. Can we pepper it with some pro-tech language?

It’s because of the fucking fax machine emails. When we were erasing everything why didn’t we get those too? Thousands of messages released and half of them are about that motherfucking fax machine never working. Makes me look like Grandma.

How about:

“Encryption is a growing concern in this industry and in our country. Like you, I want to keep my private life private. But as the former secretary of state, I know about the digital risks we face from foreign and domestic cyber criminals. There has to be an agreement from tech companies to work with government to ensure our safety as well as our privacy.”

Very poor response to when you said:

“Many Americans are making extra money renting out a spare room, designing websites, selling products they design themselves at home. This on-demand or so-called gig economy is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation, but it’s also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future.”

Also, nobody really bought the whole “tech and government Manhattan Project” bit.
