The DOJ went after Microsoft in 2001 for abuse of monopolistic powers, and that was about the browser wars. That pales in comparison to what the current batch of tech giants are doing. It's 100x worst now. We are talking about stomping out free speech and influencing elections. I don't understand why it has taken so long. Get it done!
Just remember it was the ISPs who were all going to go apeshit and censor everything. Yeah, turns out it was just FAANG. The ISPs are jackasses too but FAANG was 'hey AT&T hold my beer' on jackassary.
