Our engagement with policymakers and regulators is guided by a commitment to ensuring our participation is always open, transparent and clear to our users, shareholders, and the public.</p> </div> <h2 class="h-c-heading">Public Policy Engagement</h2> <div> <p>We believe in the empowering and democratizing effect of putting information in the hands of everyone, everywhere. We started over two decades ago with the goal of organizing the world’s information and making it universally useful and accessible. Since then, the Internet has grown and evolved more than anyone could have imagined, and yet there are still many information challenges in the world today. We champion public policy and regulatory approaches that ensures the Internet continues to be a vehicle of growth and innovation serving the widest range of people possible.</p> <p>Learn more about the key issues steering our public policy work below:</p> </div> <div class="expandable-section"> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Artificial Intelligence</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>We are making long-term investments in artificial intelligence for the opportunities and benefits it can bring to our products and many other sectors, including exciting advances in health and science. To realize the full potential of AI and emerging technologies, Google supports flexible policies that drive innovation while providing appropriate safeguards, and calls on governments to support open research that advances the state of the art and investigates novel applications and thoughtful development. We have published a set of <a href="https://ai.google/principles/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AI Principles">AI Principles</a> that guide responsible AI development and use at the company. Google is committed to open research and development, and broadening the benefits of AI throughout society.</p><p></p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Competition</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>Products like Search, Gmail and Maps help Americans every day. Survey research found that these services provide thousands of dollars a year in value to the average American. We provide these tools to everyone for free. We operate across many highly competitive sectors where prices are free or falling and products are constantly innovating and improving. Our products increase choice and expand competition. They level the playing field for small businesses everywhere—enabling them to sell their products, find customers, reduce their costs and, in difficult times, get back on their feet. Antitrust helps consumers by protecting competition, which helps keep prices low, choices abundant, and product quality high. In our earliest days, we said that we were committed to building technology that significantly benefited the lives of people around the world. We still are.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Connectivity</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>Google believes that abundant broadband facilitates free expression, increases opportunities for everyone with internet access and drives investment and innovation. The coronavirus pandemic has shined a light on the importance of broadband access, adoption, and digital skills-building, as distance learning, telehealth and telework have become even more urgent national imperatives. Moreover, it is essential that we bridge the digital divide by ensuring abundant broadband to rural and urban areas, the young and old, Native Americans, and those with disabilities, regardless of economic status.</p> <p>We also support legislative and regulatory efforts that preserve and protect an open internet, competition, consumer choice, creativity, innovation and free expression. This includes reform of federal, state and local regulations to remove barriers to broadband abundance. Google supports policies that ease barriers to deployment of terrestrial fiber, fixed and mobile wireless, and satellite broadband technologies. For wireless, it is especially important to make available additional licensed, lightly licensed, and unlicensed spectrum, with predictable rules for both exclusive and shared use that support diverse deployments.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Copyright</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>Online platforms have significantly bolstered and nurtured innovation, free expression, and opened new opportunities for creators in the U.S., in part, because of the balance that exists in our copyright law. Google takes seriously our role in fighting piracy online, but also believes in the importance of maintaining and protecting flexible limitations to copyright, like fair use. We support copyright policies, like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe harbors, that provide rightsholders with effective ways to manage their rights, encourage innovation and creativity, protect consumers, and promote free expression.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Government Technology Modernization</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>Google supports government agencies’ efforts to modernize and better secure government information technology systems.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is one such framework. It has been foundational to the Internet and has allowed innovation to flourish by safeguarding the ability to create and share content, while supporting the ability of platforms and services of all sizes to responsibly address harmful content.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Patents</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>The patent system is meant to promote the development of cutting-edge technologies by innovators. However, poor quality patents have the opposite effect, fueling abusive litigation and deterring further innovation. Google relies on a well-functioning patent system that grants reliable patent rights and supports balanced policies, legislation by Congress, and actions taken by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that promote patent quality and level the litigation playing field.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-set h-t-hercules expandable-wrapper"> <ul class="h-c-expansion-panels__list"> <li class="glue-zippy glue-a-zippy--v-smooth-expand"> <div class="glue-zippy-btn title-wrapper"> <h4 class="h-c-expansion-panels__button-header">Privacy, Security & Data Use</h4> </div> <div class="glue-zippy-content faq-answer" data-glue-zippy-content-set-aria-hidden="true"> <p>Google is committed to keeping our users’ data private and secure and enable users around the world to easily manage their privacy preferences. Regulation can protect individuals and communities from harm and misuse of data, improve security standards, and help maintain the trust that enables continued innovation and technology-driven benefits.

That is why we advocate for policies that allow them and their families to thrive both inside and outside of the office. We are also committed to ensuring technology creates opportunity for all Americans. Nearly two-thirds of all new jobs created since 2010 require digital skills. We work with nonprofit partners, policymakers, educators, and small businesses to ensure that Americans - particularly those in underserved communities - have access to the digital skills, training and resources they need to succeed.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <h2 class="h-c-heading">Oversight and Compliance</h2> <div> <p>Google’s Public Policy and Government Affairs team interacts with government and elected officials to explain our products and advocate for policies that promote innovation and the growth of the web. In the United States, this team and the activities they undertake are overseen by Mark Isakowitz, Google’s VP of Government Affairs and Public Policy, who works directly with Google’s Senior Vice President for Global Affairs & Chief Legal Officer, Kent Walker, who reports to Google’s CEO.</p> <p>Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors, comprised entirely of independent directors, regularly oversee the company’s corporate political activity. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews Google’s corporate political policies and activities, including expenditures made with corporate funds, Google’s NetPAC contributions, direct corporate contributions to state and local political campaigns, and our policy prohibiting trade associations and other organizations from using Google funds for political activities. In the advocacy space, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee similarly annually reviews the lobbying activities of our Public Policy and Government Affairs Team.</p> <p>Google's Office of Compliance and Integrity ensures compliance with all relevant political laws, including those governing lobbying activities and political contributions. The Office of Compliance and Integrity has implemented approval processes to ensure that Google’s political contributions and lobbying activities are undertaken, tracked, and disclosed in compliance with all applicable laws and rules.</p> <p>Like all Google employees, our Public Policy and Government Affairs team follows Google’s <a href="https://abc.xyz/investor/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Code of Conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.</p> </div> <h2 class="h-c-heading">Political contributions</h2> <div> <p>To date, Google has chosen not to use corporate resources to make independent expenditures or fund electioneering communications in support of, or opposition to a federal, state or local candidate’s election. In the future, if Google makes any direct independent expenditures, we would disclose such expenditures on this website and public campaign disclosure reports.</p> </div> <h2 class="h-c-heading">NetPAC</h2> <div> <p>In 2006, we created Google NetPAC, a federal political action committee. NetPAC allows Google employees, through their personal funds, to join together and support candidates who share Google's positions on important issues.</p> <p>The NetPAC board bases its giving decisions on a number of factors, most importantly, the policy stances of individual candidates, committees, and organizations. Other factors the NetPAC board considers:</p> <ul> <li>demonstrating a commitment to an open Internet</li> <li>serving as congressional leaders</li> <li>serving on committees that work on legislation that is important to Google and our users</li> <li>serving in states and congressional districts where Google has operations and employees</li> </ul> <p> The Google NetPAC Board of Directors —a bipartisan group of Google employees—makes all decisions about the contributions made by NetPAC. NetPAC complies with all federal election laws and discloses its donations on a monthly basis (see below, also publicly available at <a href="https://www.fec.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="fec.gov">fec.gov</a>). Additionally, NetPAC campaign contributions are never made in return for, or in anticipation of, an official act.</p> </div> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00428623/?tab=disbursements" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="NetPAC Contributions">NetPAC Contributions</a></li> </ul> <h2 class="h-c-heading">Contributions to Other Political Organizations</h2> <div> <p>Where permissible by law Google makes direct corporate contributions to non-federal entities, including state and local candidates, committees, and organizations. These contributions are closely overseen by Google’s VP of Public Policy & Government Affairs, and are also reviewed by Google’s Ethics & Compliance team. These contributions are made to promote the interests of the company and the private political preferences of Google executives, directors and employees do not influence them in any way. Corporate campaign contributions are never made in return for, or in anticipation of, an official act.</p> <p>You can view a detailed report of Google’s corporate political contributions to 527 organizations and state and local candidates, parties, and committees below.
