    4/23/2016 Google’s Remarkably Close Relationship With the Obama White House, in Two Charts Illustration by The Intercept. Photo: Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images Note: Some of the graphical illustrations are interactive and can only be used by viewing the native article by clicking here. David Dayen Apr. 22 2016, 9:00 a.m. HEN PRESIDENT OBAMA announced his support last week for a Federal Communications Commission plan to open the market for cable set-top boxes — a big win for consumers, but also for Google — the cable and telecommunications W giants who used to have a near- stranglehold on tech policy were furious. AT&T chief lobbyist Jim https://theintercept.com/2016/04/22/googles-remarkably-close-relationship-with-the-obama-white-house-in-two-charts/ 1/20 4/23/2016 Google’s Remarkably Close Relationship With the Obama White House, in Two Charts Cicconi lashed out at what he called White House intervention on behalf of “the Google proposal.” He’s hardly the first to suggest that the Obama administration has become too close to the Silicon Valley juggernaut. Over the past seven years, Google has created a remarkable partnership with the Obama White House, providing expertise, services, advice, and personnel for vital government projects. Precisely how much influence this buys Google isn’t always clear. But consider that over in the European Union, Google is now facing two major antitrust charges for abusing its dominance in mobile operating systems and search. By contrast, in the U.S., a strong case to sanction Google was quashed by a presidentially appointed commission.
