Admittedly I don't particularly follow Marc Benioff and / or Salesforce in the news much, but is his advocacy for privacy laws generally considered be an attempt towards regulatory capture?

Relevant quote: “We need a national privacy law,” he said. “Otherwise you’re going to get a patchwork of privacy laws. We have to get our privacy and data locked down so we know where we’re going. [Regulators] need to be stepping in now and they should be working hard to make those changes.”

If anyone, a large actor like Salesforce would be more equipped to handle a patchwork of laws than smaller competitors. A patchwork of laws is a pain in the ass for large companies, but it’s a barrier to entry for small ones.
