In the insurance industry, a special law (McCarran-Ferguson Act) had to be passed to allow companies to pool loss data to set rates. Otherwise, it was seen as an anti-trust violation. The law was passed because the public interest in making sure insurance companies are solvent and can pay claims outweighed the anti-trust issue. I think these tools are on very shaky legal ground.
