That is still an absurd amount of money

That’s on all lobbying efforts combined. It’s not out of line for a company of that scale that is trying to do things like build data centers and other such activities.

There’s a motte-and-bailey fallacy happening with that “Meta spent $2 billion” report where the $2 billion number is used as a hook but then replaced with a different argument if the other parties are observant enough to see that it’s BS

What's absurd is lying by two orders of magnitude and expecting people not to completely ignore everything you have to say because of that.
