WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eight state attorneys general met on Thursday with U.S. Attorney General William Barr to discuss concerns about big tech companies, according to a statement from the Texas attorney general's office.
The statement - which did not identify the other participants - said the group was bipartisan and that discussions centred on "big tech companies stifling competition on the internet."
The U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday it was opening a broad investigation of major digital technology firms. While it did not identify them the agency appeared to reference Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB), and potentially Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL).
