The US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has announced that the heads of four giant IT companies, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook, will testify at a hearing. As part of an investigation into the antitrust breach of Japan's antitrust law, it is likely that the four will testify on the same spot.

The US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee said in a statement on April 6 that four giants in the US, IT giant Bezos CEO of Amazon.com, Cook CEO of Apple, Pichai CEO of Google, and Zuckerberg CEO of Facebook were announced this month. At the hearing held on the 27th, he announced that he would testify.

In the U.S., there are deep criticisms against four companies that they are using their monopoly status to prevent proper competition. "The testimony of four people is essential to complete the investigation," he said.
