Donald Trump says Google, Facebook, Amazon likely in 'antitrust situation': report
Aug 30, 2018 11:31 PM

US President Donald Trump said that the three major technology firms - Google, Facebook and Amazon - may be in an 'antitrust situation', he told Bloomberg in an interview on Thursday.

While mentioning about the 'antitrust situation', Trump repeatedly said he can’t comment publicly on whether they should be broken up, reported Bloomberg.

Antitrust Law prohibits illegal practices such as favouring certain companies or practices.

Trump reiterated for the third day his accusation that “conservatives have been treated very unfairly” by Google.

Trump’s latest accusations on technology firms began earlier this week on Twitter when he said that Google’s news search only favoured liberal over conservative news media.
