US tech giants to go under antitrust microscope as the Department of Justice launches review
The US Justice Department said on Tuesday it was opening an investigation of major digital tech firms on whether they engage in anti-competitive practices.
The Justice Department did not identify specific companies but said the review would consider concerns raised about "search, social media, and some retail services online", an apparent reference to Alphabet Inc, Amazon.com Inc and Facebook Inc, and potentially Apple Inc.
Reuters reported on May 31 that the Justice Department was preparing an investigation of Google to determine whether the tech giant broke antitrust law.
