The UK’s competition watchdog is set to scrutinize Big Tech companies this year when it gains new powers independent of the EU, said Andrea Coscelli, chief executive of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Last month, the CMA opened an investigation into Google’s “Privacy Sandbox” project, to determine whether the project will distort competition. Coscelli said that he expects more investigations to come.
