God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).
Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it’s been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

Those are found in other comments: Meta, NCOSE, Heritage Foundation.
Meta is covertly supporting bills to weaken the burden on itself and shift it on others (especially competitors) while NCOSE & Heritage Foundation want to regress society as usual.
Conveniently while also forcing all operating systems to install infrastructure to collect data about the user and broadcast it to every single program ran on the device… Make the OS do the data collection, give it to Meta for free.
Thanks. Yeah, I saw Meta in another comment after I posted my question.
