The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently conducting an antitrust investigation into Microsoft, with an emphasis on potential anti-competitive practices within its cloud computing and software licensing sectors. There are reports indicating that the FTC is looking into assertions that Microsoft’s terms may pose challenges for customers wishing to transfer data from its Azure platform to rival services. Additionally, there are concerns related to the integration of artificial intelligence tools and cybersecurity offerings. This inquiry follows earlier concerns raised by competitors such as Google and NetChoice regarding perceived advantages in the market. Microsoft has chosen not to comment on the ongoing investigation at this time.
