Lobbyists for Big Tech now outnumber MEPs

On average, there are 3 meetings a day between Big Tech lobbyists + senior EU figures. Meanwhile an NGO fighting to stop people's water supplies being hoovered up by data centres will wait months to get a single meeting.

A fascinating listen 👇
💸 Do you know how much money Big Tech is spending on lobbying in Brussels? How has this amount been increasing? On what is the money being funnelled to and what can we do about it?
