Big Tech companies pause political contributions after the U.S. Capitol riot.

"We have frozen all NetPAC political contributions while we review and reassess its policies following last week's deeply troubling events," a Google spokesperson said.it had decided last Friday to assess "the implications of last week's events" before making additional contributions from its PAC.

"The PAC regularly pauses its donations in the first quarter of a new Congress, but it will take additional steps this year to consider these recent events and consult with employees," Microsoft said in a statement.While Microsoft, Google and Facebook are taking a broad approach to halting contributions, others have been more targeted.

said on Monday its PAC will "withhold support from those who voted against the certification of the presidential election results."Tech PACs tend to donate to both Republican and Democratic candidates. Federal Election Commission data shows Microsoft's PAC donated in 2018 to the senate campaign of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, one of the lawmakers who sought to object to President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral votes, and the 2016 Missouri attorney general campaign for Sen.

Google's PAC also donated to Cruz's Senate campaign in 2017 and 2018. T-Mobile's PAC gave to both Cruz and Hawley's Senate campaigns as recently as last year.VIDEO
