About this tag
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is the UK's antitrust regulator actively investigating Microsoft's business software ecosystem, including Windows, Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot, for potential anti-competitive licensing and integration practices. The CMA has also ordered Google to provide clearer attribution for AI-generated search results and allow publishers to opt out of AI summaries. These actions reflect the CMA's focus on digital markets, AI, and enterprise software lock-in, with implications for UK businesses and public sector organizations using Microsoft and Google products.
