Times the word “monopoly” appears in this comment thread (so far): 26

Times the word “monopoly” appears in the article: 0

It’s worth repeating: The Sherman Antitrust Act does not apply only to actors in monopoly positions. Antitrust actions may be taken against businesses engaging in anticompetitive behavior or otherwise restraining trade, even if they don’t control the entire market.

False. Modern anti-trust law requires proving harm to consers and that would be incredibly hard with any of those companies.

If you're going to be pedantic, at least be correct.
