The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed an antitrust case against Amazon, which is seen as the agency's most aggressive move to curb the market power of the e-commerce giant. The case focuses on Amazon's control of a marketplace in which it also competes, raising concerns about a conflict of interest. The FTC's action is aimed at taming Amazon's dominance in online shopping and fast deliveries. Meanwhile, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has come under scrutiny as emails from 2007 reveal that he raised concerns about the "optics" of Google's deal with Apple to make Google the pre-selected search option on Safari. India's Competition Commission is also investigating Google and Apple for alleged unfair business practices, adding to the global discourse on the market dominance of major tech companies. In related news, the US Justice Department and the FTC are arguing in separate antitrust cases that Google and Amazon stifle competition. The outcome of these cases could have significant implications for how we search online and what we buy. Apple could also be affected if Google loses the DOJ antitrust case. Additionally, there are calls for more aggressive antitrust action against Amazon, with some suggesting that giant platforms like Amazon should come under public ownership and democratic control. Google is also facing an antitrust battle with the European Union over its ad business. The ongoing Google antitrust trial has revealed testimonies about the company's dealings with advertisers and other tech giants. The outcome of the case could have far-reaching consequences if the judge rules in favor of the DOJ.
