Tech CEOs testify at House hearing on Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon | 7/27 (FULL LIVE STREAM)

Tech CEOs Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg will testify before the House Judiciary Committee on July 29 about the dominance of Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook.

The Washington Post’s Libby Casey will anchor coverage and be joined by reporters Elizabeth Dwoskin, Tony Romm and Cat Zakrzewski for analysis on how this event may affect consumers, the economy and legislation.

Of the four chief executives, Amazon’s Bezos is the only one to have never appeared before Congress. (Bezos owns The Washington Post.) Cook testified in front of the Senate in 2013, Pichai appeared in 2018, and Zuckerberg has made multiple appearances in recent years.

The hearing caps off a year-long investigation by the committee into anti-competitive practices by tech companies. Previous hearings by the committee have focused on the impact of big tech companies on their competitors, data privacy implications and the efforts of agencies tasked with antitrust enforcement.
