Companies such as Google,
Facebook,
Amazon and
Apple face increased scrutiny from CMA
The UK’s competition watchdog plans to launch a series of antitrust investigations into big tech companies including
Google and Amazon this year, in the latest sign of increased scrutiny of the practices of the Silicon Valley companies.
The Competition and Markets Authority will later this year become home to a new digital markets unit (DMU), which will
police the internet companies and have powers to impose fines of billions of pounds.
