The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has launched an extensive antitrust investigation into Microsoft Corporation.

Axar.az informs that this was reported by "Bloomberg" citing sources.

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has initiated a sweeping antitrust investigation into Microsoft, scrutinising various aspects of the tech giant’s operations, including its cloud computing, software licensing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) businesse.

The FTC’s interest in Microsoft’s cloud business has intensified in light of high-profile security breaches affecting its products. Microsoft, a major software provider to US government agencies, has faced criticism from the government’s Cyber Safety Review Board for its “inadequate” security practices.
