The letters were sent to Mark Zuckerberg of Meta; Sundar Pichai of Alphabet; Satya Nadella of Microsoft; Tim Cook of Apple; and Andy Jassy of Amazon.com. Spokespeople for Microsoft and Meta said that they had begun producing documents. Requests for comment from Apple, Alphabet and Amazon were not immediately returned.
