\n The Facebook Receipts is a project of The Citizens, designed to expose Facebook\u2019s activity in Washington D.C. and around the globe as it attempts to influence legislation and regulation. The goal is to pull back the curtain on Facebook\u2019s influence operations that it tries to conceal from public view.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n

This is the first comprehensive project to aggregate Facebook\u2019s participation in Congressional\/Parliamentary hearings around the globe, how it spends its lobbying dollars, who lobbies for the company as well as a documentation of global harms and lawsuits.<\/p>\n

We primarily use data from OpenSecrets<\/a>, as well as our own collated data. This is a living project and will be updated as new visualizations and more data is gathered.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n
