Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly and we ban such accounts because that's not what this site is for.
You also broke several other guidelines with this comment, such as the ones against accusations of brigading and going on about downvotes. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.

You're not getting down voted for your opinion - you're getting down voted because "it's about time" is not a useful comment. This isn't reddit... tell us WHY it's about time using a reasoned argument.
If everyone just spouted their gut feeling, the comment section would be infinitely long list of people saying nothing, and HN wouldn't be an interesting place.

I hope that this is just the beginning of a revival of antitrust that extends to many other fields besides SV tech firms, too. However, only SV tech has the combined scorn of both parties. As some as the more entrenched power comes under attack, antitrust will again become a partisan issue.

You will be disappointed. It is abundantly clear that it is about bullying for favorable coverage as opposed to actual facts of the matter. When evaluating people don't listen to their nonsensical mouth-noises look at what their actions say - attacking information sources around election time and going after the ones with no barriers to entry - they don't even need to be in the country to compete! Ignoring the ones with actual legal monopolies granted to them.
