The Competition and Market Authority (CMA) is probing whether Facebook abuses its dominant market position in the UK. On the last Friday of May, the CMA said that Facebook may hold an "unfair advantage" due to its dominant market position in the digital advertising space and that it “might be abusing that dominance, the regulator added, saying it would look into how the company gathers data as part of its investigation.”
“The CMA will also scrutinise Facebook Login, a service that allows users to sign in to other websites using their Facebook credentials, to see whether it provides an unfair advantage to the company’s separate classified ads business, and its dating business,” Sky reported.
In a statement, Facebook told Reuters, "Marketplace and Dating offer people more choices and both products operate in a highly competitive environment with many large incumbents.”
