The House Judiciary Committee launches a 'top-to-bottom' antitrust investigation of tech giants, including Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google
Washington The House Judiciary committee said Monday it is launching a"top-to-bottom" antitrust investigation of the tech industry, including Amazon , Apple , Facebook and Google , deepening a crisis for Silicon Valley's largest players as they face mounting scrutiny in Washington over their power and influence.
The Democratic-led investigation comes as the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission are taking their first steps toward a potential probe of their own into Google, according to three people familiar with the matter. Regulators have negotiated to divide oversight of the tech industry between the two agencies in recent weeks, these people said. The two agencies have also reportedly split up oversight of Amazon, Apple and Facebook.
