(Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the de-facto federal privacy regulator, said on Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice's proposal to make Alphabet's Google share search data with competitors includes adequate safeguards to protect users' privacy.
The proposal is part of a range of measures the DOJ says are necessary to open up the online search market, after ruling in August that the tech titan holds an illegal monopoly.
