The Justice Department is already suing Alphabet’s Google for monopolization, while the Federal Trade Commission is pursuing antitrust cases against Meta Platforms and Amazon.com.

      You’re absolutely right. Here I’m venting my problems with anxiety on Lemmy for no good reason whatsoever. That’s my bad.
