The tech industry, including household names like Facebook, Alphabet’s Google and Apple, is attracting more public scrutiny from governments and regulators, both in the U.S. and Europe.
Facebook is the highest-profile example right now. It is facing at least half a dozen inquiries, largely thanks to the controversy over Cambridge Analytica’s use of customer data. Alphabet’s Google is facing several probes, while U.S. regulators also are investigating Apple over a feature in iOS that slowed some of its older iPhones.
