Microsoft accuses US regulator of leaking news of its antitrust investigation

American multinational technology conglomerate Microsoft has accused the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of leaking news of its antitrust investigation into the company.

Recall that Bloomberg and other media sites reported last week Wednesday that the investigation encompasses a wide spectrum of the US tech giant’s services, including cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.

The report states that the FTC is investigating if Microsoft’s public cloud, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity product lines are among the various areas of the business where antitrust legislation may have been broken.
