Employees, shareholders, lobbyists, "researchers" who write academic "studies" favoring the company for money, nonprofit orgs which are principally funded by donations in exchange for political support, politicians whose kids work for big tech companies. (Only reason the US didn't pass regulation against tech recently is likely that Chuck Schumer's kids work for big tech and he just... never put the vote on the schedule...) The only reason Google has survived today while operating as pretty much a criminal enterprise is because they spread a massive amount of money to the pockets of influential people.
