According to sources speaking to the Financial Times, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), a business innovation and antitrust watchdog, intends to launch a formal investigation into the e-commerce giant’s data management and usage.
The CMA told us that it “cannot speculate as to which cases it may or may not investigate.”
