Netflix lobbyists have met with EU commissioners and other staff 11 times over the last 18 months, covering issues like copyright, privacy and digital regulations. In that same time, Netflix’s U.S. lobbyists didn’t meet with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) once. (The Information)

Netflix filed 21 monthly communication reports with the federal government over the last 18 months, but just two of those have been within the past six months.
