Amazon's Jeff Bezos 'may have lied to Congress'

Now that he isn’t CEO, he can go to prison without harming the employees and investors.

No one gets prosecuted for lying to Congress.

Not suggesting that this practice is ok or reasonable, but many other big tech companies have used similar advantages to steal from smaller innovators.<p>Apple, Microsoft, and Google have all copied novel technologies from their smaller business partners, effectively shutting out the creators.<p>Walmart and other big chains have used their sales information to know which products were worth making “house brand” copies of, then promoting those alongside the original ones.<p>Heck, even lying to Congress has been common and largely unpunished for years now.<p>American capitalism is a formidable power.

Ahh, blaming the algorithms. Those nasty algorithms, where DO they come from, the pesky little things!?

Any heading that has the word &#x27;may&#x27; indicates that the article is questionable.
