All tech lobbies associated with the e-commerce giant — including DigitalEurope, CCIA Europe and ITI — could be barred from Parliament in major escalation of fight over warehouse working conditions…
It would be kind of weird if the ACLU ( American Civil Rights Union) would lobby the European Parliament. But hell, who knows, maybe in 2076?
(Unfortunately, The MAGA American Heritage Foundation does seem to lobby in the EU)
Though I’d prefer if the US would stand up for it’s own civil rights tbh. In the early 18/19th century USA stood as a great example for civil rights in the world, back when Europe was ruled by Kings & Queens.
add:
A Frenchie, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote “Democracy in America”, published in 1835, of the New World and its burgeoning democratic order.
There are good lobbyists. Organizations like Amnesty International, the ACLU, and more have lobbyists.
Sometimes it’s appropriate to have professionals whose job it is to communicate with legislators on behalf of a group of people.

It was an example of a lobby group that serves a legitimate purpose.
Lobbyists can exist and cause harm or benefit in more than one place.
I know, it it was a joke and jab. And if you did too, you have to admit you should’ve used better example in this context. No humor?
