The report presented the full letter sent to Tim Cook which is at the bottom of this report for your review to refresh your memory as to what the House of Representatives want from Apple for their investigation.
A new Reuters report now reveals that the leaders of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee said late on Tuesday that they had begun receiving data from Facebook, Alphabet’s Google, Amazon and Apple as part of their probe into the companies’ potential breaches of antitrust law.
The probe is one of several at the federal, state and congressional level aimed at determining if the companies use their considerable clout in the online market illegally to hurt rivals or otherwise break competition law.
“We have received initial submissions from Alphabet, Amazon, Apple and Facebook as part of our investigation. While we do not yet have all of the information we requested, we expect that all four companies will provide the information in short order,” the committee’s leaders said in a joint statement.
“We look forward to their continued compliance with the committee’s investigation,” they said in the statement, adding that "We will hold additional hearings, discussions and roundtables as our investigation continues."
