Facebook and Google feel the heat as multiple states launch antitrust investigations

Multiple states are now investigating Facebook over possible antitrust violations. 

The announcement was made Friday morning by New York's attorney general, Letitia James. She'll be cooperating with seven other states and the District of Columbia in the bipartisan investigations. The other states involved are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee.

BREAKING: I’m launching an investigation into Facebook to determine whether their actions endangered consumer data, reduced the quality of consumers’ choices, or increased the price of advertising.

The largest social media platform in the world must follow the law.
