Summary
The department and the F.T.C. regularly negotiate over who has jurisdiction over antitrust cases, including investigations into competition violations and the review of mergers.While some of the complaints against Google are years old, there has been a surge of new ones in recent months as concerns over Silicon Valley’s influence and power have grown, according to one of the people with knowledge of deliberations.Stephen Kaufer, the chief executive of TripAdvisor, a company that has complained about Google’s practices in the past, said he welcomed the new scrutiny on the tech giant.“TripAdvisor remains concerned about Google’s practices in the U.S., the E.U. and throughout the world,” he said in a statement, referring to the European Union.
