The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is conducting an antitrust investigation into Microsoft (MSFT, Financial), examining its cloud computing, software licensing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence products. This follows over a year of informal interviews with competitors and business partners.
As part of the investigation, antitrust officials have requested detailed information from Microsoft. The FTC's antitrust lawyers plan to meet with Microsoft's competitors to gather more information about the company's business practices.
Microsoft's expansive reach in multiple tech sectors has prompted this scrutiny, as regulators aim to ensure fair competition in the rapidly evolving digital marketplace.
