As much as you would like to hold law makers accountable for not seeing into the future, It’s ridiculous to think law makers approving mergers lead to anti-trust violations. Big tech companies are culpable because they unfairly use their market position to stifle competition to the detriment of consumers. Anti-trust is not purely about market size and dominance, it’s about the disgustingly gross behavior of the people in those companies with that type of power and influence.
