Meta Builds Bipartisan Political Influence Team Ahead of US Midterm Elections

Deep News10-31 19:40

According to reports, US tech giant Meta has assembled a bipartisan political influence team ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections.

This move represents the company's latest step in a full-scale push into the realm of US political and policy lobbying. Meta had previously launched a midterm election political funding plan worth up to US$65 million, the largest political investment in the company's history, aimed at conducting bipartisan lobbying through the establishment of dedicated Super PACs.

The core goal of this team and its funding is to address the increasingly severe threat of AI regulation at both the state and federal levels. Meta is seeking to provide funding to bipartisan candidates who are friendly to the AI industry and supportive of technological innovation, in order to prevent states from introducing fragmented and stringent restrictive AI regulations.

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, AI deepfakes and disinformation have aroused extremely high public attention and vigilance on social media. At the same time, many places are seeing local bipartisan backlash over the massive energy consumption and water usage of AI data centers.

Meta's high-profile construction of a bipartisan influence team at this juncture is precisely aimed at protecting its core policy interests in artificial intelligence and its core businesses before the power seal of partisan confrontation is stamped.
