There's been recent reporting by Politico on tech giant “shady lobbying” in the European Union “during negotiations on two landmark EU tech laws.” Reports say that tech giants like Google and Meta “have deceived lawmakers by lobbying through smaller front organizations, leading [EU] lawmakers” to file eight complaints to their lobbying body. Someone in Canada remarked that there was so much Astroturfing in Ottawa, you'd think we're getting a major league baseball franchise.
I was wondering if you could speak to some of the tactics employed by dominant tech giants in the United States.
