At some point, we really need to start recognizing big tech's in-kind political contributions as political contributions and subject them to the same laws that everybody else has to follow.

Ad inventory (and staff time) that’s donated to US campaigns which are subject to campaign finance disclosure laws must be, and is, reported. You’ll see it on FEC and state public disclosure contributions. It doesn’t have much to do with this article, though, which isn’t about campaigns.
