SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A group of states led by Texas is expected to announce an investigation into Google on Monday to examine whether the Silicon Valley tech giant has gotten too big and effective at stomping or acquiring rivals.

The probe is the latest blow against big tech companies as antitrust investigations ramp up in the U.S. and around the world. A separate group of states announced an investigation into Facebook's dominance on Friday. The Department of Justice , the Federal Trade Commission and Congress are also conducting probes.
