CEO's of Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Google finally appeared before the Congress to testify for the on-going antitrust investigation. The six-hour-long hearing was interesting due to many reasons - its historical value, the dominance of the companies present, and the brutality of the grilling by lawmakers. Of course, as expected, it also included many moments where lawmakers came out misinformed and misdirected their questions to the wrong companies.

All the CEOs were questioned regarding the scale of their businesses and their domination positions through which they can dictate the market. Many of the questions were also related to censorship, buying out the competition, relationship with China, and more. The lawmakers had based their questions on interviews and 1.3 million documents related to these companies.
