Representative Keith Ellison has asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to release the complete findings and analysis from the Commission’s Google investigation, which concluded in 2013 without any findings of antitrust violations.
“We write to request the Federal Trade Commission make public the reports by the Bureau of Competition and the Bureau of Economics documenting the complete findings and analysis in the Google antitrust investigation that concluded in 2013.” His letter last week to Acting Chair Olhausen said.
While the FTC did not find any reason to crack down, Ellison points out that in June, the European Union fined Google a record US$2.7 billion for violating EU antitrust rules, saying it had “abused its market dominance in search” and gave “illegal advantage” to its own comparison shopping service over competitors.
Ellison wants the documents by November 30.
