)-owned Google’s Sundar Pichai and Apple Inc’s APPL.O Tim Cook - whose companies have a combined market value of about $5 trillion - parried a range of accusations from lawmakers via videoconference before the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel.
Unfortunately, the Big Tech hearing was decidedly low-tech. Bezos escaped questioning for about 90 minutes in what may have been a tech issue, and was caught reaching for what appeared to be a snack. Pichai responded mildly that he would want to know the specifics of the accusation. “We conduct ourselves to the highest standards,” he added, disagreeing with the characterization that Google steals content from other businesses to keep users on its own services.
Representative Pramila Jayapal pressed Amazon’s Bezos on whether the company used data from third-party sellers in making sales decisions. In a previous hearing, an Amazon executive denied this under oath and was contradicted by a later news report. “Big Tech is out to get conservatives,” he said. The companies have denied allegations of political censorship.
In his opening remarks, Zuckerberg told lawmakers that China is building its “own version of the internet focused on very different ideas, and they are exporting their vision to other countries.”
