God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it’s been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

          Horrible company says “what? Me? No, guv, we just run ads”.

          Best to get receipts.

        And provided an insight to the whole flow of dark money.

        Edit: Otherwirse they could just brush it off as a rumor/conspiracy theory.
