Today, Big Tech’s four horseman of the advancing apocalypse – Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple – will stand before Congress and attempt to argue that they have not become too big to fail.

The hearing is the culmination of a year-long investigation carried out by the antitrust panel of the House Judiciary Committee, during which time it has accumulated 1.3 million documents from the testifying companies and conducted hundreds of hours worth of interviews. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook have already faced Congress under different circumstances, while CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos is making his Congressional debut.
