They also complained that ALEC hides its role in writing state laws.

Ebay should join the dozens of companies that have severed ties with ALEC.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The letter urges eBay to follow the example set by Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Yelp, Yahoo, International Paper, Occidental Petroleum, News Corporation, and Overstock.com, all companies that recently have announced that they have left ALEC or plan to depart soon.
