The FTC has reportedly launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft, focusing on its cloud, AI, and security businesses, highlighting ongoing concerns about market dominance.
Authorities are concerned that Microsoft's best software deals are exclusively for Azure customers, raising competition issues with rivals like Google, who seek more regulatory action.
Microsoft's security practices, particularly in light of vulnerabilities that have exposed sensitive government emails, have drawn scrutiny, adding further dimensions to the antitrust investigation.
With Microsoft's deep ties to AI partners like OpenAI, regulators are questioning whether these collaborations are designed to bypass regulatory scrutiny while maintaining market control over emerging technologies.
