US FTC's statement about Google and antitrust investigation back in 2013.
Yeah. FTC is going to do jack-crap about the situation given the tools that they currently have. The FTC is on purpose weak, the US Congress has sought to weaken it over the last three decades. People can go leave a comment on the FTC's website, but don't forget, US citizens, to stop by the House and the Senate. And if you need some background, here and here.
Now all that said, this isn't posted to discourage, it's posted to get you focused on what hinders the FTC.
