Google wasn’t against this privacy bill, officially. Behind the scenes, it orchestrated opposition

September 11, 2025

“Today’s CalMatters reporting shows just how far tech giants like Google are willing to go to prop up front groups to mask their opposition to bills, deceiving the public and lawmakers in the process. Big Tech has already spent $2.6 million in the first half of 2025 in Sacramento, and that was only the beginning. In these final days of the legislative session, legislators must stand strong – Californians have their backs.” – Sacha Haworth, Executive Director, The Tech Oversight Project
