I don't think they can specifically address a single entity like that: the laws have to be applicable across the board. I believe otherwise it would be the constitutionally-forbidden "Bill of Attainder".

It would only be a Bill of Attainder if it targeted and punished specific entities. From what I can gather, this just sets parameters. It would likely fall under our existing antitrust framework.

  if it targeted and punished specific entities Ummm... that's exactly what I said. In response to "The line is not 'you are not allowed to ever do this' but 'this particular instance is hurting competition'." I replied "I don't think they can specifically address a single entity like that: the laws have to be applicable across the board"
