BIG Tech’s Influence over Biden-Harris Ticket should concern all Americans

Contact Your Elected Officials

The Amistad Project exposed for us just how much illegal influence Mark Zuckerbergโ€™s dark money network had on the 2020 elections process, but top executives at Facebook and Twitter also donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Biden’s campaign and many are now going to be part of the Biden-Harris Administration. We also saw bias and censorship by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube and even Google search is modified to exclude content favorable to Republican candidates and conservative issues and was especially unfavorable to the Trump-Pence Campaign. All of this should be very concerning to all Americans.

Big Tech’s stealth push to influence the Biden administration

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Silicon Valley is working behind the scenes to secure senior roles for tech allies in lesser-known but still vital parts of president-elect Joe Bidenโ€™s administration, even as the pushback against Big Tech from progressive groups and regulators grows.

The Biden transition team has already stacked its agency review teams with more tech executives than tech critics. It has also added to its staff several officials from Big Tech companies, which emerged as top donors to the campaign.

Now, executives and employees at tech companies such as Alphabet Inc-owned Google, Amazon.com Inc, Facebook Inc, Microsoft Corp are pushing to place candidates in senior roles at government agencies, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter.

The agencies many of these executives are aiming for include the U.S. Commerce Department, Office of the United States Trade Representative, the Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs – a key agency under the White House Office of Management & Budget which drafts policies impacting the tech industry, the State Department and the Department of Defense, according to the sources.

Many company executives, who in some cases helped raise money for the Biden campaign or have ties to those on the president-electโ€™s transition team, still have a huge commercial interest in pushing candidates with industry ties at the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission โ€“ both of which are investigating whether Big Tech abused its market power. But the spotlight on those agencies from progressive interest groups and members of Congress is likely to make it much harder for Silicon Valley to succeed, the sources said.
