Earlier this month, following the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol, the tech giant had paused all political contributions to reassess its policies toward political contribution. Hundreds of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the halls of Congress on Jan. 6 in a bid to overturn his election defeat, battling police in the hallways and delaying the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory for hours.

'Democracy'

Google shouldn’t donate money to Congress members any more than they should accept it.

Thank you!!!!

Google should donate to charities not political machines

Entrenched voters will NEVER hold politicians accountable. The only hope for democracy is sadly corporations. More corporations need to follow Google's lead and stop donating to politicians who had incited an insurrection. sundarpichai tim_cook satyanadella PGelsinger

Corporations can donate to PACs ... but should they?

Not bad. You can pay your taxes instead.

google shouldn’t be donating to ANY political campaign period!!! If you feel the need to donate Google donate the money to food pantries. How about that? 😏

Communists and pedophiles

Shame in you google. You should not make any donations to politics. Instead you can educate and create honest people.

thedesertwolfe *clears throat* “I’d like to thank google for exposing the fact that our elected officials are bought and paid for” -the person who lost

Capitalists controls politicians.

I thought Big Tech exclusively supported Democrats!?

SO WHAT? Google was financing the congressmen? Is it a joke?

Google shouldnt be Donating to ANY POLITICAL FIGURES... PERIOD

The only place Republicans will feel it

otherwise, Google only provides money to them

For a few month then it be business as usual

Thank you Google!

Why is google donating to Congress members in the first place. The US has a fucked up political system.

Wonder if they'll stop donations to congress members pushing the Russian consipriacy.

Great!!! Then maybe they will vote for the American people instead of following what google wants

'Following that review, the NetPAC board has decided that it will not be making any contributions this cycle to any member of Congress who voted against certification of the election results,' a Google representative said in a statement. F*CK GOOGLE!! Not supporting their sponsors either..!! Pro-China Google gave $24 million to democrats in 2020 and only $1.3 million to Republicans, so this isn't a big deal Google & others should mind their own business & STOP MEDDLING IN POLITICS ALL TOGETHER.
