The questions at Wednesday’s Capitol Hill hearing of four of the most powerful tech CEOs will be focused on the moguls. But lawmakers also have plenty to prove
.
Members of the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee will grill Facebook’s Zuckerberg, Google’s Pichai, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Apple’s Tim Cook in a largely virtual hearing, with all four CEOs and even some lawmakers set to appear through videoconferencing. It’s a format that could make it even harder to squeeze the tech moguls for answers.
Those close to hearing say Wednesday’s session could unearth crucial new information about each companies’ business practices and go a long way toward holding the companies accountable for their business practices — if lawmakers don’t lose sight of the goal, that is. The hearing, the sixth held by Judiciary as part of a sweeping probe into competition in the tech sector, could inform future legislation to update U.S. antitrust laws in a way that curtails the conduct of online titans like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple.
