Google Pays More for Lobbying Than Apple, Facebook, Microsoft Combined

"Google Pays More for Lobbying Than Apple, Facebook, Microsoft Combined"

"The company is the subject of an ongoing antitrust investigation by the
Federal Trade Commission, which has set out to determine if the company has
taken advantage of its dominance in search to bulldoze its way into new
markets.

The company was also recently slapped with a $25,000 fine from the Federal
Communications Commission for impeding an investigation into allegations
that the company's Street View cars collected large swaths of data from
unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

Google's lobbying Congress on a host of issues, including online
advertising, copyright and patents, cybersecurity, online privacy and
"do-not-track" laws and high-tech education and immigration.

The filings show that Google has been actively lobbying around the Stop
Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
(CISPA), the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and the Consumer
Privacy Bill of Rights, among other legislation."

It is interesting to see that the Gang at Google is not satisfied with
"cooking the books" on searches,
censoring and banning folks who post facts and opinions
that the Gang Leaders do not want the public exposed to,

but as the masses are catching on to the fact that Google
is more like a pervert that gives candy to children
than they are a company the "Does no evil.".

they are going after the votes of politicians
that can be bought, conned. or intimidated.

As Philip, Alexander the Great's father said:
"No city walls are so secure
that they cannot be breached
if you can get a donkey load of gold
up to the city gates."
