Facebook Inc is under scrutiny by European antitrust regulators who want information on whether the social network uses its size to squeeze smaller rivals. 

The European Commission has sent questionnaires to Facebook’s customers and competitors about a range of practices, according to two people familiar with the matter. Companies have been asked to respond by next week, said one of the people. They asked not to be named because the inquiry is in its early stages and not public.
