On Tuesday, the whole situation jumped up a notch thanks to a letter from a sitting congresswoman.
Representative Katherine Clark of the 5th District of Massachusetts penned a letter to Genius CEO and cofounder Tom Lehman to express concerns about “the Genius online annotation platform and its lack of safeguards against Internet harassment and abuse.”
