A leading retail group sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission outlining its concerns over the dominance of major tech companies.
from regulators around the world in recent years who have found them in violation of competition laws.
"It should thus be quite concerning to the Commission that Amazon and Google control the majority of all of Internet product search, and can very easily affect whether and how price and product information actually reaches consumers," RILA wrote. RILA also raised questions about the potential consumer harm tech companies can inflict through their dominance that is unrelated to prices. The group wrote that "the quality of those products and services have degraded as these companies shifted from fierce competitors to dominant monopolists," citing data privacy and advertising disclosure problems at Google and Facebook.
