Every major tech corporation is grossly in violation of anti-trust laws. 'Back in the day' Microsoft lost an anti-trust lawsuit over nothing but bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, seriously! [1]
Nowadays that's not even scratching the surface of what companies are doing. But we seem to have simply stopped enforcing anti-trust for the largest corporations, about the time they all started joining PRISM. I don't think that's a coincidence. Quid pro quo.
At one point in time the concept of the separation of State and Church was revolutionary. It's time for the separation of State and Big Business/Banking. So many things could be fixed basically overnight if the relationship between corporations and the government was more adversarial, and less incestuous.
