Yup.

The only weird thing is that Google gets so much for such a low lobbying bill: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/summary?cycle=2016&id=D000067823

Makes you wonder how much cash they’re shipping to legislators under the table.

I’m always disappointed how cheap our politicians really are. Like $5-10k is enough to get you to sell out your constituents? Yikes, dawg.

It’s called old people in charge who don’t understand how modern shit works. Have no understanding of why privacy is worth fighting for.

im tired of pretending they are just innocent old people.

a lot of money has probably gone their way to keep them happy about whatever big tech told them to do.

they have at least an idea of the surveillance state they built since 2001, they are not naive.
