The Facebook Receipts aims to spotlight the social media juggernaut’s ability to influence legislation and regulation through high-powered lobbyists.

A new project dubbed The Facebook Receipts aims to put a harsh spotlight on the social media juggernaut’s staggering ability to influence legislation and regulation in Washington, D.C.

Last month, Facebook Receipts revealed its findings which it bills as the first"publicly available, open-source research tool that tracks Facebook court hearings, harms, money, and FOIA filings." The project evolves regularly, with information being added as it is discovered. The result is a"comprehensive collection of original data and visualizations that pull back the curtain of Facebook’s influence operations" aimed to generate as much possible revenue.

Facebook Receipts revealed its findings which it bills as the first"publicly available, open-source research tool that tracks Facebook court hearings, harms, money, and FOIA filings." "The allegations are that Facebook and many of the other Big Tech giants are monopolistic in nature and sort of collecting other competitors up in its grasp to try and compete against one another," Qureshi said.

"As I talk to more and more of my colleagues in the advocacy space who are fighting Big Tech, the biggest sort of line that we've started to use -- and I think makes sense in this area -- is that Facebook is delaying the inevitable," he said.
