Political Contributions and Lobbying Efforts

March 28

The disclosure of $60,000 in lobbying spending by SentinelOne, particularly on federal cybersecurity policy issues, indicates active corporate political engagement. From an anti-fascist perspective, such activities can potentially sway public policy in favor of corporate interests rather than broad-based democratic accountability. Although the amount is relatively modest, this kind of targeted lobbying contributes to the systematic influence of corporate power in political decisions, which is viewed negatively.
