According to the Financial Times, the US FTC (FTC) will launch an investigation into anti-competitive practices in Microsoft's cloud computing business, focusing on allegations that Microsoft is abusing its market power in the productivity software market. The specific means being investigated include raising subscription fees for customers who leave, charging high exit fees, and making Office 365 products incompatible with rival cloud platforms. The move demonstrates the FTC's ongoing efforts to challenge Big Tech under chairwoman Lina Khan, who has prioritized fighting monopolistic practices.
