The Justice Department is looking into possible monopolistic actions as part of its probe into Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros.
Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t quite a done deal yet. As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the US Department of Justice has started its probe of Netflix’s proposed purchase, but is notably interested in whether the streaming giant was involved in any anticompetitive practices. According to the civil subpoena seen by WSJ, the Justice Department is looking into any « exclusionary conduct on the part of Netflix that would reasonably appear capable of entrenching market or monopoly power.
