> Companies that seemed to genuinely support net neutrality
Which companies were those? Netflix and google both made statements that they support net neutrality, but I didn't see them lift a finger to do anything about it: it seems to have been mostly a pr move.
- duxup 8y agoThat's my point. I don't feel like we've seen tech companies really lobby on a level where there is any impact on the national level.

The filing cited privacy, data security, antitrust, taxes, tariffs, trade, the opioid crisis, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, immigration, the future of work, encryption and national security. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-22/google-set-2018-lobbying-record-as-washington-techlash-expands https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-22/google-se...
