"Have you heard that all of the opposition to the EU Copyright Directive
and its hugely problematic Articles 11 and 13 is really being driven by
Google lobbying? Most of you probably realized this was nonsense, but it
now turns out that not only was the lobbying almost entirely dominated
by the legacy copyright players, but a key plank of their lobbying
campaign was to falsely allege that all opposition was just Google."

The classic Big Lie technique.  Large entertainment companies have been
feeling threatened by non-corporate creators for years.
