The regulator is also examining whether Google services are prioritized on Android phones. The Japan Fair Trade Commission said it is examining whether Google made agreements with Android smartphone makers to share search ad-related revenue on the condition that the device manufacturer does not install a rival search engine. Japan's competition watchdog on Monday said it is investigating Alphabet -owned Google for alleged antitrust law violations in regards to its search practices on mobile platforms, ramping up regulatory pressure on the U.S. technology giant. In response, Google said Android is an "open-source platform that has enabled a diversity" in partners and device manufacturers. The EU said Google unfairly favored its own services by forcing smartphone makers to pre-install Google apps Chrome and Search in a bundle with its app store, Google Play.

U.S. President Joe Biden speaks as he attends the DNC 2023 Winter Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S., February 3, 2023. U.S. President Joe Biden will take aim at tech companies and discuss data privacy and online safety when he delivers the annual State of the Union address Tuesday night, the White House said. Biden will also argue it is the responsibility of companies, not consumers, to minimize the amount of information they collect. The White House said social media companies often do not enforce their terms of service with respect to minors. Biden will discuss how his administration plans to build on the surgeon general's youth mental health advisory, the Department of Health and Human Services' new Center of Excellence on Social Media and Mental Wellness, and the Children and Media Research Advancement Act.

Days after Congress passed a bipartisan spending bill banning TikTok from government devices, legislators and advocates say they are looking to further regulate social media companies in the New Year. "We're seeing troubling data about the corrosive impact of constant social media use, particularly on young men and women here in America." Haugen said she thinks most people are unaware of how far behind the U.S. is when it comes to social media regulation. "This is like we're back in 1965, we don't have seatbelt laws yet," she told NBC's "Meet the Press." Klobuchar said on Sunday that things are only going to change with social media companies when Americans decide they have had enough.

The account received a blue verified checkmark, even though Markey already has two legitimate verified accounts. The exchange between Musk and Markey on Twitter is not the first time the pair has gone head-to-head.
