Why CEOs of Amazon, FB, Google and Apple grilled for 5 hours?

After outburst of pandemic virus in United States, President Trump lashes China behind the spreading of coronavirus. He directly called it as ‘Chinese Virus’.  

As the U.S. passed 150,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic and with millions of Americans facing eviction from their homes and an imminent drop in their unemployment benefits, Congress turned its attention to a very different subject. Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are facing anti-trust violations. The subcommittee grilled 4 tech giant CEOs for more than 5 hours.

The House of Antitrust Subcommittee blamed Tech giants are using unfair business practices to raise out competition. The complaints against the tech giants are varied but the overarching criticisms are that they have used their dominant position to quash rivals and overcharge the people and businesses reliant on their services. The committee felt acquisition of Instagram by Facebook as “anti-competitive acquisition”.

Subcommittee called the behavior of Google in threatening Yelp to remove from search listings as “economically catastrophic” for other companies. US Congress Committee called them as monarchs. The House of Antitrust Subcommittee suspects that China is stealing the data from these companies. The big 4 crushed their rivals by using their power. Apple questioned over the use of slave labour in China. Amazon was accused of breaching privacy laws. Microsoft faced similar anti-trust trials in 1990’s. Four CEOs said they are not powerful and big as lawmakers think.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap.
