Antitrust law isn't a solution here. Many different surveillance companies keeping records on us provides the same problems (if not more) than one large company.
What is sorely needed is privacy legislation that says that data about an individual is fundamentally the property of that individual, and that the license for commercially possessing/processing an individual's data can be revoked at any time. Only then can there be competition in this market.
