Lina Khan’s US FTC said to review Amazon-MGM deal

The Federal Trade Commission, whose new chairwoman has been critical of Amazon.com, will review the company’s planned purchase of MGM, a source familiar with the matter said.

Amazon said in May that it would buy the US movie studio, home to the James Bond franchise, in an $8.45 billion deal that would give it a huge library of films and TV shows to compete with streaming rivals led by Netflix and Disney+.
