Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon go virtually to Washington: Big Tech CEOs questioned over antitrust

The big four tech CEOs whose companies dominate our daily lives came to Washington via teleconference Tuesday to testify before a House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust concerns to make their cases for why Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google shouldn't be broken up.

Their formal statements stressed their humble beginnings, devotion from consumers and how they help entrepreneurs run their small and medium-size businesses.

But when it came time for questions, representatives from both political parties greeted Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's Tim Cook, Alphabet's Sundar Pichai and Amazon's Jeff Bezos with hostile questions and a format that begged for yes or no answers.

In addition to examining how the companies approached competitors, many of the questions fell along party lines, often focusing primarily on a couple of themes: poor treatment of third-party sellers on Amazon from Democrats, and the silencing of conservative voices on Google and Facebook from Republicans.

"Big Tech is out to get conservatives," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
