Regulators kick off battles with Big Tech

Google and Amazon have thrived over the years as American regulators largely kept their distance. That may be changing, the NYT reports.

Regulators are getting tactical. The two federal agencies that handle antitrust issues are divvying up oversight of two dominant tech companies: Unnamed sources say that the Justice Department is taking Google and the Federal Trade Commission is handling Amazon.

• “With Amazon, some consumer groups and vendors have complained that its powerful e-commerce platform edges out new competition, particularly as the company enters into new business lines like groceries and fashion.”

• “With Google, the Justice Department is exploring an investigation of the advertising and search business, according to several people with knowledge of the discussions.”
