House Antitrust Request May Push Tech Companies to Their E-discovery Limits
Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple are faced with a tight 30-day deadline to turn over a lengthy list of documents and communications to the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee. But there's a good chance they'll need an extension.

Last week, the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee issued document requests to tech giants Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple that could see each of the companies' respective e-discovery teams putting in some long hours over the next few weeks.
The list of materials the tech companies have been tasked with providing is both extensive and wide-ranging: financial statements, memoranda, spreadsheets and executive communications pertinent to various acquisitions or internal business decisions. They are expected to be delivered to the House Judiciary subcommittee no later than October 14.
Even with all of the technological might at their disposal, can Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple cross the finish line in time? Megan McKnight, a founder and managing member at Tealstone Law, thinks probably not.
