Governments can only be as good as their citizens contributing to it.
Those companies had a hand in forming those very laws.
They could have acted differently without giving up a competitive advantage, by lobbying for better laws for everyone involved, but they didn't.
Governments have to rely on external expert advice, and at its best, that is what lobbying is.
Google and co gave bad advice and that's what I'll hold them responsible for.
