Watchdog to probe Google, Facebook impact
AAP
The competition watchdog has been asked to inquire into the power of Google and Facebook.
The Turnbull government has directed the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to investigate the impact of the digital platform services, as part of a deal with the Nick Xenophon Team.
The inquiry will consider the impact of such sites on media and advertising markets, as well as the level of choice and quality of news for consumers.
