WASHINGTON: The US Federal Trade Commission, under pressure to keep closer tabs on big tech companies such as Alphabet's Google and Facebook, said on Feb 26 it would create a task force to monitor the sector and investigate anti-competitive conduct.
The FTC's Bureau of Competition will put some 17 staff attorneys on the task force, which will consult on tech-related merger reviews, investigations and reviews of consummated tech deals.
