WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions met with a group of state attorneys general on how to protect consumers from dominant technology companies, though they didn¡¯t decide to open an investigation.
Sessions heard from more than a dozen state officials Tuesday at a closed-door meeting weeks after saying he wanted to discuss the growing concern that these companies may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas.
¡°The discussion principally focused on consumer protection and data privacy issues, and the bipartisan group of attendees sought to identify areas of consensus,¡¯ the department said in a statement.
