On Wednesday, July 29, in a House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee hearing titled, "Online Platforms and Market Power, Part 6: Examining the Dominance of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google," members of Congress will question the CEOs of the big tech platforms about their dominance of the digital marketplace. The hearing is the sixth in a series of hearings focused on the dominant online platforms and the adequacy of existing antitrust laws and enforcement. According to a joint statement from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Antitrust Subcommittee Chairman David Cicilline (D-RI), "Given the central role these corporations play in the lives of the American people, it is critical that their CEOs are forthcoming. As we have said from the start, their testimony is essential for us to complete this investigation."
