The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft’s cloud computing, software licensing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence offerings.
The investigation includes allegations of Microsoft abusing its market power by imposing licensing terms to prevent data migration from Azure to other platforms.
The FTC is also scrutinizing Microsoft's cybersecurity business and AI products in addition to licensing conditions.
The investigation is accompanied by a detailed request to obtain information from Microsoft.
