After Google, Amazon and Apple could be on the radar of EU antitrust investigations

U.S. tech giants might have a respite after two decades of European Union antitrust investigations. But not for long.

While Google just got a third, and possibly final, EU fine on Wednesday, regulators still have their eyes on Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc. and Facebook Inc.

EU antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager, told reporters earlier this month that an early-stage probe into Amazon’s potential use of data to overtake smaller shops on its Marketplace platform is “quite advanced” and she’d “like to take more decisive steps” before she leaves office later this year. That might see the start of a full-blown investigation.
