FTC Initiates Comprehensive Antitrust Probe into Microsoft
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, led by Chair Lina Khan, has launched a broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft's business practices, focusing on its cloud and cybersecurity sectors. This follows Khan's previous attempts to block Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. The investigation is reportedly driven by complaints from competitors like Google and Amazon about Microsoft's Azure platform and its bundling practices. This move comes amid a broader scrutiny of tech monopolies in the U.S., with other giants like Google, Amazon, and Apple also facing antitrust challenges.
