US prepares for landmark Google antitrust probe
The US Justice Department is preparing an investigation of Alphabet's Google to determine whether the tech giant broke antitrust law in operating its sprawling online businesses, two sources familiar with the matter says.
Officials from the Justice Department's Antitrust Division and Federal Trade Commission, which both enforce antitrust law, met in recent weeks to give Justice jurisdiction over Google, said the sources, who sought anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the record.
