In a previous answer, you said “consistent with what we've done in Europe” in regard to something else. However, we've seen Google and other platforms engage in questionable lobbying practices here in Canada and internationally.
A leaked company document, entitled DSA 60-day plan update, laid out Google's strategy to weaken support for bills regulating big tech in the European Union. To jog your memory, I believe your CEO apologized to EU commissioners for some of its contents.
The document shows that Google planned to increase pushback on specific EU officials, erode support within the European Commission, use “academic allies” to “raise questions about...new rules” and attempt to seed a trade dispute between the United States and Europe.
Mr. Walker, are these Google's usual practices when it engages with governments on tech regulation?
