Meta alone spent 2 billion dollars lobbying for this worldwide, and it was a massive success, it's passing everywhere unanimously.

Meta has not spent $2 billion lobbying for this or on lobbying altogether.

It’s amazing how that one AI slop project that made this claim got so many people to believe this number.

Spreading this disproven AI slop around isn’t helping. It just makes opposition look like uninformed conspiracy theorists who can’t fact check anything.

Citation for this claim? Searching lands on this page without any citations and seems AI generated slop:

There was an AI generated slop report posted to Reddit that went viral. It even got some news coverage before anyone stopped to read the files and discover that it was gibberish.

I still get downvoted for pointing it out and trying to ground the conversation in facts. As you noticed the story continues to thrive on bad news sites and social media.
