For over a year, top lawmakers in Congress have been investigating Amazon , Apple , Facebook and Google . The investigation's purpose? To determine whether the companies have abused their power and dominance in the online marketplace.
Now, the CEOs of those companies are set to testify before lawmakers on Wednesday in the biggest hearing of its kind since Microsoft's Bill Gates went to Washington in 1998. While most of the executives have appeared before Congress previously, they've never faced a situation quite like this one. All four will testify alongside one another — and in a pandemic-driven twist, they will all attend the hearing virtually, using Cisco's WebEx conferencing platform.
It’s not everyday my two largest stock holdings meets with congress to get “grilled”. Nonetheless, I still believe in both $aapl and $amzn as a shareholder and a consumer
Congress needs to discus breaking up banks. Banks asset size needs to have a cap.
Large companies need to stay in their lane. Amazon for example should not be allowed to be in as many sectors as they are. Also, Apple should not be allowed to be a bank.
Where are threats to this lady? No questions for Americans and keeps her.
Medium-rare for me please.
I just want to grill!
Congress looks upon them as competition of who should call the shots in America.
The Bias Squad.
They promised election interference and we're seeing it unfold right now. If Democrats win, with these people in charge of the tech platforms, all opposition will be completely squashed. These people are the actual fascists.
DONT F8CK W/ MY amazon ! ONE STOP SHOPPING! LOVE THEM
Oh, great, we get to watch Democrats fall all over themselves praising rich American tech leaders who are beholden to China....
Bbq or grill? 😁
There not about to grill anyone. All of those companies those CEOS represent have special carveouts. This is just some propaganda of the deed.
This is going to be about - conservatives are being silenced - when it should be about social media is trafficking propaganda, altered videos, dangerous conspiracy theories, racism, voter suppression.
Are they even going to bother putting them under oath?
If by grill you mean fellate.
Twitter should be there too Twitter Congress coronavirus
Microsoft?
Grill? Ha you mean take it easy on these Rich Scums
No one cares
☝️😑 Do you really think these über-rich CEOs care?
Congress thinks the cloud is in the sky and cookies are a treat. These guys are going to make Congress sound ignorant.

Good! One medium rare please
About what?
Propane or charcoal?
So, these companies are controlled by Congress?
To bad they don’t grill them the same as trump cabinet members
So they are going to “gril” their employers GTFOH...
Why don’t you people focus on your president? People have a choice whether they want to use these apps or not. keeptheborderclosed 🇨🇦
What are they expecting to get out of this?
Get ready for lots of stupid questions from stupid people who have no clue what value these organizations bring to the US.
Congress will grill them about how they are abusing their power and invading our privacy on far too many levels. Because that's our governments job!
Will yeild nothing but a talk-show. Congress is more of like talk more do less. A version of Hollywood but with ugly actors.
All for show. Nothing happens. Lie and deny.
Define “grill”... 🤣🤣🤣
GOP & TheDemocrats reps & senators are not very intelligent. I vote but there is not a single one up there I voted for. And FoxNews & MSNBC encourages dumb reps & senators.
Yeah zuka go to paris to sell your informations, they surely pay a nice price, well good luck with assad, share. also if false but i accept.
Such hearings are pointless. It's show-trial like questioning, but in the end nothing changes and no measures are taken. Total waste of time.
If you have zucks saying, we didn’t do a good enough job and were going to change things on your bullshit bingo card, you’ve already won.
Can we just arrest them and shut down all social media instead? Seems appropriate
These hearings are just going to be used as advertisements for their re-election commercials in November. It’s all a sham.
Here come the Trump ass kissers
Leave uncle Jeff alone Amazon is th best thing known to man
Oh goody
Cancel culture is coming for these companies next !!
