Meta launched what’s set to be the largest push to back political candidates in its history, a move that just so happens to come as the social media company faces a wave of negative press and arguably its most precarious legal fights to date.

The New York Times reported that Meta kicked off a $65 million effort ahead of this year’s midterm elections to “boost state politicians who are friendly to the artificial intelligence industry, beginning this week in Texas and Illinois.”

The Times noted that “the sum is the biggest election investment by Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp” and reported that company representatives said the investment is “driven by concerns over the regulatory threat to the artificial intelligence industry as it aims to beat back legislation in states that it fears could inhibit A.I. development.”
