Hi, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon — The Big Four — have all faced challenges during the pandemic: supply chain breakdowns, rampant misinformation, and even an advertiser boycott among them. But the trend toward their unregulated market power has continued. It’s even accelerated. On the fourth live episode of Pivot Schooled, Scott and Kara will address how the pandemic and the economic crisis are affecting each of these behemoths and the market concentration they create. As Kara broke on Twitter, the Big Four CEOs will testify before the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee later this month. But as we learned from the last time a tech CEO testified, members of Congress don’t always know how to ask the right questions. That’s why Kara and Scott will be interviewing Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Pivot Schooled. Google is perhaps the most important global information distribution platform of all time. The decisions it makes are more crucial than ever as we’re staring down a deadly global pandemic. Register for Pivot Schooled to hear Kara and Scott ask Pichai about how he’s navigating this moment and more.
