Microsoft found out about a new FTC investigation the same way as rest of us
The company is still waiting on formal legal action from the Commission
Redmond is asking the FTC to investigate itself
Microsoft has expressed its frustration about a recently revealed FTC investigation because it was never actually informed about the probe – the tech giant only found out about the FTC’s plans after reading the news.
Consequentially, Redmond’s Deputy General Counsel Rima Alaily has asked the FTC Inspector General to “investigate whether FTC management improperly leaked confidential information about a potential antitrust investigation last week in violation of the agency’s ethics rules and rules of practice.”
