Two groups of US state attorneys general announce separate antitrust probes of large tech companies such as Google and Facebook

Politicians including President Donald Trump, consumers, other firms and regulators have criticised that power. Google's parent Alphabet said on Friday the Department of Justice in late August requested information and documents related to prior antitrust probes of the company. The company added in a securities filing that it expects similar investigative demands from state attorneys general, and that it is cooperating with regulators.

Will Castleberry, Facebook's vice president for state and local policy, said after the New York announcement that the company would work constructively with state attorneys general.
