What happened
Jeffrey Cole of USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future ranked four major tech companies—Meta, Apple, Google, and Amazon—as at-risk giants. Cole stated he could build a case against Apple, an easy case against Meta, a harder case against Google, and a really difficult case against Amazon. The ranking was based on legal exposure, margin trends, and free cash flow versus capital expenditures.
