U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Aug. 30 asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to examine the potential antitrust developments in Google’s search and digital advertising.
Hatch, the Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said in a letter to FTC Chairman Joseph Simons he was concerned about the practices of Google parent company Alphabet Inc., citing a number of antitrust complaints and reports since the agency’s last investigation in 2013.
