Data brokers’ millions of dollars in lobbying spending in 2020 rivaled that of some Big Tech firms like Facebook and Google. 25 companies whose combined spending on federal lobbying totaled $29 million in 2020. Oracle, which has spent the past decade acquiring companies that collect data, spent the most by far.
