Tech giants like Facebook and Google have increased their lobbying efforts as they try
to avoid any new regulations for their corrupt industries.
And so what's happening, I mean, you know, look, would you ever think of Google or Facebook
as the term corrupt?
You're seeing it all the time.
I mean, that's just not us saying that, you're seeing it in the general media.
But 15 years ago you never would have said, you would have never associated the word corrupt
with those two industries, but right now they feel like they have such a problem that you've
got, you've got them spending $20 million, $15 million, $8 million, $18 million a year
just to lobby to overcome the attack that they're under.
What's your take on it?
I mean, just to point out, imagine somebody waking up from a 10 year coma today and turning
this on, saying what?
What's wrong with Facebook?
But, but it is that and they understand it as does Google as does Microsoft and Apple.
That's why all of their totals in lobbying for the last year have gone up.
They understand that law makers from both sides of the aisle, this is a good bipartisan
issue that they're trying to work on here.
Yeah, it is.
They know that, listen, they're gonna hit us with these antitrust laws because, because
you know, I'm Facebook.
I'm a social media site.
I'm a news organization now.
I'm an advertising agency.
I am everything and that can't exist under antitrust laws.
And Amazon is a great example of that.
Amazon is too, perfect.
Where, where you've got, you've got these, you've got these folks that are putting people
out of business all over America right now for one thing or another.
They're, one thing we're really seeing is the, the news industry is going bust.
I mean, you've got Gannett laying off people by the hundreds.
You've got a Buzzfeed great example.
You've got Yahoo trying to figure out how are they going to hold on to the industry
that they have.
They really can't because you've got, you've got Google and Facebook gobbling up and Amazon
gobbling up so much of the market out there.
So I, you know, as I look at this, there's two things they want to accomplish.
When I talk about Google, I talk about Facebook or, or Microsoft.
Microsoft, don't forget Microsoft is, you know, owns part of MSNBC.
So what, what we're, what we're looking at is we're looking at not just them fighting
antitrust, they're fighting any effort to, to move towards regulatory at all.
They will, they don't want regulatory to come in and have anything to do with this.
And I thought this is interesting.
Maybe you can answer this real quickly.
They say we have to spend money lobbying, lobbying, and the question then becomes what
is it that they're lobbying?
What is it that they're trying to accomplish?
And the answer is obvious.
We want to be bigger, we want to make more profits.
And the old days of us being something that's so integral to social media is quickly disappearing.
