Apple’s Tim Cook, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai reportedly agreed to testify at a House antitrust hearing in late July. According to Kara Swisher (The New York Times, Recode), Representative David Cicilline told him in an interview that the CEOs of the world’s largest technology companies will appear in front of the Judicial Committee. A spokesperson for the committee also confirmed their attendance at CNBC.
Cicilline, who has become one of the biggest critics of the enormous technological powers, said that Jeff Bezos from Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, Sundar Pichai from Google and Tim Cook from Apple will testify before the antitrust subcommittee of the House Judiciary. .

If you recall, the House has launched an investigation into companies amid concerns that tech giants are suppressing competition. Based on a previous Political Report, Cook was the last to confirm his attendance. If Cook had declined to attend, the other executives probably would have declined as well: Google’s parent company Alphabet, Facebook and Amazon only agreed to make their CEOs available to testify whether the four bosses can reach the audience, the publication wrote. . .
