He claims "No PAC $$" on his profile, but Google is his top donor, and Google's top law firm is his second top donor: https://www.opensecrets.org/races/contributors?cycle=2020&id=CA17&spec=N https://www.opensecrets.org/races/contributors?cycle=2020&id... He is basically a paid advocate for Google's political positions, not the public interest. The service pictured in that screenshot solely is offering zero-rating packages on top of an existing metered data package. Additionally, this is for a mobile carrier, not a home ISP.
