WUH I dunno. Is there anything in the Commerce Clause/Constitution sez they aint allowed to?

Every big corporation teaches every employee EVERY YEAR the dangers of violating Anti-Trust.
When I worked for Intel, they went over backwards to prevent any such thing from happening.

For instance, when I was young and foolish, I suggested that Intel buy AMD and avoid all the competition.
I was quickly told this would result in an Anti-Trust lawsuit that Intel would 100% loose.

Anti-Trust is all about keeping markets open for competition.
IBM can’t be sued for AT as they have lots of competition in the computer market.

Google controls 90% of the server farms, 50% of the cell phone market thru Android and 100% of the data which passes thru their operation.

That's called a crime. There are legitimate laws to deal with force and fraud. I'm not willing to sanction Leviathan to bust up FR and Fox and Google because people are scared of some servers and wire that are used VOLUNTARILY.
