Washington vs. Big Tech: Taking on the Trillion-Dollar Club

Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai, leaders of the four tech titans, testified remotely on Capitol Hill for 6 hours this week. Becky Quick, Andrew Ross Sorkin, and Wilfred Frost recap the highlights of the hearings, from antitrust defenses to privacy concerns and technical glitches. Former White House Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra breaks down the evidence presented by the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee and how the hearings may change FTC, DOJ, and state-led investigations into Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Alphabet. Plus, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) raises his concerns about what might follow a big tech breakup.
