A 16-month congressional investigation into Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook has found that the tech giants hold"monopoly power" in key business segments and have abused their dominance in the marketplace, in a full-throated condemnation of the giants.

The findings set the stage for possible future legislation designed to rein in Big Tech, even as antitrust enforcers at the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission gear up for potential litigation against some of the companies.

Old fashioned robber barons.

16 months, huh? Slowpokes.

NOOOOOOOOOO! I would never have thought so!
