It's not actually real. The lobbying firm behind most of the fact sheet is made up of people on the boards of different tech firms.

- chelmzy 5y agoDo you have a source for this? I'm extremely curious.
- landryraccoon 5y agoWhat fact sheet are you referring to? I’m curious what names are on it.
- epistasis 5y agoThis is a very serious accusation, but I can't find any substance to it, and it doesn't make much sense. What tech firm have lobbyists on their board? Presumably you're talking about this fact sheet? https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/07/09/fact-sheet-executive-order-on-promoting-competition-in-the-american-economy/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases... If a lobbying firm is behind official White House communications, and not WH-employed staff, that alone would be a serious allegation. But to say that tech is behind this is even worse. Where is the evidence?
