The FTC will check whether the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard deal will harm employees Who Reported harassment
The news that Microsoft has agreed to buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion has concerned public figures and human rights activists. They noted that the deal could exacerbate the problem of discrimination and harassment in the publishing house. Now the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has assured that it is investigating the takeover from this side.
The chairman of the FTC Lina Khan (Lina Khan) told about this in a letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren (Elizabeth Warren). A copy of the letter was reviewed by Bloomberg.
The FTC will also check the deal for threats to competition, harm to consumers and the labor market.
The fact that the FTC intends to carefully study the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard became known in February. Previously, it was assumed that the US Department of Justice would deal with her.
