Regulators are working around the clock to cement four years of tech policy ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n

After last month\u2019s presidential election, Lina Khan<\/a>, the Democratic chair of the Federal Trade Commission, went into turbo mode.<\/p>\n

She officially started a sweeping investigation into Microsoft\u2019s potential antitrust violations<\/a>, sending the company hundreds of pages of questions on its businesses. The F.T.C. settled two privacy cases last week with data brokers for selling sensitive user data without permission.<\/p>\n

Ms. Khan\u2019s staff has also rushed to finish an antitrust review of deals between artificial intelligence start-ups and the biggest tech companies, according to three people familiar with the agency\u2019s activities, aiming to publish the findings before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office.<\/p>\n

Ms. Khan\u2019s actions are part of a larger sprint-to-the-finish regulatory blitz as the Biden administration caps an intense four years of scrutiny of the tech industry. Regulators in recent weeks have opened investigations, created rules<\/a> and pushed some of the toughest stances on antitrust<\/a> as they seek to curb the power of the biggest tech companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced late last month that it would begin to regulate e-payment services by companies like Google and Apple, creating the first regulatory oversight of the apps. The Justice Department asked for a federal judge to break up Google<\/a> over its monopoly in search. And the Commerce Department is racing to grant more than $80 billion to chip manufacturers<\/a> and companies bringing broadband to American homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regulators say the activity is intended to tie up loose ends on cases the incoming Trump administration may not continue. Last-minute victories would also burnish what they view as a Democratic legacy of putting Silicon Valley on its heels.<\/p>\n
