Chief executives from four of the biggest U.S. technology companies will face a moment of reckoning Wednesday in an extraordinary joint appearance before Congress that will air bipartisan concerns that they are using their dominance to crush rivals at the expense of consumers.
The House antitrust subcommittee will hear testimony livestreamed from Amazon.com Inc.’s Jeff Bezos, Facebook Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet Inc.’s Sundar Pichai and Apple Inc.’s Tim Cook as part of its yearlong inquiry into technology industry competition. The panel is armed with more than a million pages of internal company documents gathered as part of its probe.
