Business practices used by technology giants Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Google have allowed the companies to hold monopolies over large portions of the digital marketplace, according to a report released Tuesday by the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law.

"Our investigation leaves no doubt that there is a clear and compelling need for Congress and the antitrust enforcement agencies to take action that restores competition, improves innovation, and safeguards our democracy," the statement continued.
