> Google is the most powerful lobbyist in US history Interesting claim. Can you back it up? Off the top of my head I would posit that the most powerful lobbyist in US history was the United Fruit Company, who successfully lobbied the US government to overthrow the democratically elected government of Guatemala. From [1]: > Several historians have maintained that the lobbying of the UFC, and the expropriation of its lands, were the chief motivation for the U.S., strengthened by the financial ties of individuals within the Eisenhower administration to the UFC. I'm genuinely very interested in seeing evidence that Google has more influence than the UFC!
