– Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, and Google’s Sundar Pichai testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday in a hearing called by the House Intelligence Committee to address the “antiquated power of Silicon Valley.” Here’s what you need to know about the testimony and what the CEOs had to say: ‘We’re not that big’: “We’re not that big; competition is fierce; consumers love us.
