Google's Android under antitrust investigation by FTC

Federal Trade Commission will see if operating system has been privileging its products over competitors' in second inquiry into Google in less than three years

For the second time in less than three years, Google is under investigation by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over antitrust concerns, Bloomberg reported Friday morning.

The inquiry will look into whether the company's Android operating system has violated antitrust laws by privileging its own products and services over its competitors' to an untenable degree, according to the Bloomberg report, which cited competing tech company executives who had complained about Google to the commission.
