I think the author is unaware that “anti-trust” has been used for decades as a bargaining chip, where big companies trade gestures for barriers of entry with the political establishment. The only reason the internet has been the biggest growth sector for more than 2 decades now is that it has been new enough to be less regulated than other industries, but as the giants (Google, Facebook,…) both settle new cases and push for self serving regulations, the barriers grow tall again, and innovation will stop.
