Ben Goldhaber recalls that during the 2012 SOPA debates, Google blacked out its logo with a link reading "Tell Congress: Please don't censor the web," helping sway public opinion.
He suggests OpenAI, Anthropic and GDM could adopt a similar tactic: placing a "Pace the Frontier" advocacy link under their chatboxes, putting frontier labs' regulatory messaging directly in front of billions of end users.
