    Apple, Amazon and others back groups trying to kill US climate legislation
    Disney and Microsoft are also connected to lobbyists who are fighting the $3.5 trillion budget bill.



    Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Disney are among the major companies backing corporate lobby groups and organizations that are battling a US climate bill, according to a report. That's despite those companies all making pledges to reduce their impact on the environment.

    The United States Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable and the Rate Coalition are three of the lobbyist and business groups that oppose the Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget bill, which includes measures to fight climate change. The Guardian reports that watchdog Accountable.US analyzed the groups to learn which companies have connections to them.

    If we don't break up big tech and force them to be responsible for the things posted on their sites, with moderation and rules, society will end, and we will die out as a species.

    You like censorship? That will come for you too bucko. For being an anti-big tech advocate.

    Free speech is the only way to have a proper Democracy. This concept has long been known.

    But I agree with you on a certain level... big tech is too powerful.

    Is it the climate change or the roll back on some of Trump tax giveaway to big corp?

    edit - yeap, it's the tax

    and here is Amzn updated statement

    Amazon has made bold commitments to reduce our carbon emissions, and we continue to encourage other companies to join us. We support investments in the Infrastructure and Build Back Better bills to lower emissions in key sectors like energy and transportation, and we believe these investments will help advance America’s carbon reduction goals. As we said earlier this year, we support an increase in the corporate tax rate to pay for things like infrastructure, and we look forward to Congress and the administration coming together to find the right, balanced solution that maintains or enhances U.S. competitiveness.

    Yup people need to stop using it. But it's like WalMart. They talk a big game and then they use it anyways because it's easier.

    They like TikTok... they don't need real friends when they can pretend their TikTokers are friends. The China aspect isn't important to them because they don't understand the reality of the threat at hand. So many of them will have put compromising stuff on Chinese servers and when they are older will be easy to manipulate.
