It is reported that the US Department of Justice is investigating the possible monopoly behavior of Google. According to Reuters, the US Justice Department has been approved to include Apple in a broader antitrust investigation.

The report points out that both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the US Department of Justice will have jurisdiction over two major technology companies. FTC will decide whether to investigate Facebook and Amazon, while the US Department of Justice will consider investigating Apple and Google. If both regulators decide to investigate the four companies, the former will seek evidence of the latter's violation of antitrust regulations.

Google has been accused of preferring its products to competitors in search results. Previously, Google hoped to install "Google Search" and "Chrome" browser on Android phones through Google Play service, and they were also criticized for this. Facebook was accused of allowing misleading posts and "fake news" on its platform.

Foreign media predict that Apple may be investigated in the United States for forcing Spotify and other companies to pay "Apple tax". Previously, these companies were required to pay 30% of the revenue of Apple App Store to Apple, and the revenue of app developers will also decline. The European Union is currently investigating Spotify's complaint against Apple.
