Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai are reportedly willing to testify before Congress over antitrust concerns on the condition that Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook testify as well

Both Google and Facebook have already alerted Congress via letter that Pichai and Zuckerberg, respectively, are willing to appear, according to both reports. The companies' willingness to make their top executives available follows, which said the company would "make the appropriate executive available to testify," which includes Bezos. The letter specifically noted that Bezos would be willing to testify at a hearing "with the other CEOs this summer.

Pichai's and Zuckerberg's appearances in front of the panel would be on the condition that the other CEOs appear as well. Apple has not said definitively it will make CEO Tim Cook available to appear before Congress, according to both reports. While Bezos has never testified in front of Congress, Zuckerberg, Pichai, and Cook have all appeared before Congress in the past, although not to specifically address antitrust concerns.

The House Judiciary Committee has been looking into tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook for several months, probing and hoping to determine whether laws regarding competition have kept up with the pace of big tech companies. Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, chairs the House's antitrust panel and plans to publish a report on his findings. That report could contain his recommendations for changes to regulations that would directly affect those four companies, according to the Post.

Forget Bezos, AMZN is going down, they can't manage to fill month old orders. Pretty soon I'll be going to Walmart, so I get my stuff on time.
