On September 12, 2025, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) initiated an investigation into the search advertising practices of both Amazon and Google. The probe centers on whether these tech giants misled advertisers concerning the terms and pricing of website advertising, and whether they have been fully transparent in disclosing pertinent information. This move by the FTC comes in the wake of a judge's ruling that Google had engaged in illegal monopolistic behavior in certain sectors. Following the announcement, Amazon's stock price experienced a 0.43% dip during intraday trading, while Google's shares saw a 0.45% decline.
