We read hundreds of pages of emails that Congress collected from the biggest tech companies in the world — here are the most revealing things we found

The release is a curated selection of the 1.3 million documents collected by the committee during its more than year-long investigation into competition concerns regarding the four tech giants. It includes emails and chat logs between executives at the four companies and with those they sought to acquire.

"It's an indication to look deeper but not necessarily an indication you won't be able to close [the deal]," she said in an interview this week with CNBC. "When you have both documents that show a company is planning to harm competition and the economic data or the economic model support that it's possible, that's when the documents are given the most weight."

"We have this big issue right now because gaming is shifting from us to mobile platforms," CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in one April 2012 email. "It's causing all this negative momentum in a bunch of ways around gamer overall user engagement, ad spend from gamers, overall revenue, etc."Zuckerberg acknowledged the threat posed by Instagram in conversations with his deputies.

"Of course, at the same time we're developing our own photos strategy," Zuckerberg wrote, "so how we engage now will also determine how much we're partners vs competitors down the line."Even if regulators believe Facebook executives were afraid of the potential rise of Instagram and WhatsApp, it may not be enough to accuse them of violating merger law.
