On Wednesday the Executives of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google had a video conference with members congress about antitrust in Big Tech. One interesting thing that came out was a report done by The Markup showed that 41% of searches done on Google return results for Google Products (Article).  Everyone knows Google’s original tagline “Don’t be Evil”.
