Amazon, Apple, and Google are facing criticism for allegedly abusing attorney-client privilege in ongoing antitrust and other legal cases. According to reports, lawyers representing these major technology companies have been accused of encouraging a culture of lawlessness by excessively withholding internal documents under the guise of legal privilege. This strategy, highlighted by Wall Street Journal reporter Tim Higgins, is seen as counterproductive, potentially harming the companies' positions in court and public opinion.
