Probably marketers in this one. Marketers who know how to access politicians adn get invited to WEF.

- oytis 4mo agoThat's not lobbyism, that's straight corruption. Lobbyism is, at least in theory, about convincing politicians
- pocksuppet 4mo agoIn practice it's about bribing them or at least telling them personal gains. Like if you tell a politician he should support the war on Iran because he owns lots of oil stocks and they'll go up. Marketing is telling a politician this app is the future of EU social chat so you need to be using it.
