Facebook under fire as US lawmakers press for new antitrust complaint

 A bipartisan group of US lawmakers expert in antitrust urged the Federal Trade Commission Friday to press on with its lawsuit against Facebook, according to a statement from Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

In a letter to new FTC Chair Lina Khan, Klobuchar, Sen. Mike Lee and Reps. David Cicilline and Ken Buck urged the FTC to “pursue enforcement action against Facebook and to consider all available options under the law for ensuring that the commission’s claims receive a full and fair hearing.” Klobuchar and Cicilline, both Democrats, and Lee and Buck, both Republicans, hold the top positions on congressional antitrust panels.
