CMA will decide whether consumer law was broken by not taking sufficient action to protect shoppers
Amazon and Google are to be investigated by the UK competition watchdog over concerns the tech companies have not done enough to tackle the widespread problem of fake reviews on their websites.
The Competition and Markets Authority, which began looking at the issue of fake reviews on major platforms two years ago, will now seek to determine whether Amazon and Google may have broken consumer law by not taking sufficient action to protect shoppers from fake reviews.
