Internal Emails Shed Light on Big Tech’s Abusive Business Practices

A recent report from NBC outlines what a huge number of emails from tech giants Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google could mean for possible antitrust cases against the companies.

NBC New York writes in an article titled “What a Trove of Emails From Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google Could Mean for Potential Antitrust Cases,” that following the recent testimony of the CEO’s of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, internal emails obtained by Congress as part of an antitrust probe into the firms provide even further insight into the operations of the tech giants.

A curated selection of 1.3 million internal documents released by the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel are part of a year-long investigation into the tech firms and include emails and chat logs between executives at the firms.

The documents reportedly show the companies strategizing ahead of major company decisions, such as Facebook’s $1 billion acquisition of Instagram or Amazon’s decision to undercut the price of diapers to compete with Diapers.com.
