It's called corruption
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.
That we know of. I think it's a bit more than that, but yeah, our politicians are cheap.
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.
