“#Japan joining forces with US and Europe to regulate Big Tech<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Japan is joining the fight against Big Tech\u2019s market dominance.<\/p>\n

The head of the country\u2019s antitrust watchdog said Monday that it would be teaming up with the US and Europe to tackle efforts to regulate the four biggest names in Silicon Valley, adding that Tokyo could open a probe into Google\u2019s attempted Fitbit merger.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the size of any merger or business-tie up is big, we can launch an anti-monopoly investigation into the buyer\u2019s process of acquiring a start-up (like Fitbit),\u201d Kazuyuki Furuya, head of Japan\u2019s Fair Trade Commission told Reuters. \u201cWe\u2019re closely watching developments including in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

EU antitrust regulators in August launched an investigation into a $2.1 billion deal by Google\u2019s bid to buy fitness hardware-maker Fitbit that aimed to take on App<\/a>le and Samsung in the wearable technology<\/a> market.<\/p>\n

Furuya said that Japan is laying the groundwork to regulate Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook<\/a> \u2014 whose businesses face a number of antitrust probes in the west. The Big Tech firms have similar business practices in all the countries where they operate, which makes global coordination crucial, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll work closely with our US and European counterparts, and respond if to any moves that hamper competition,\u201d he said, calling it an area where he would \u201cpush through aggressively.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Post wires.\u00a0<\/em>\n <\/div>\n
