  FTC sues, FTC proposes, FTC accuses. I see no actual change here.

  None of those are antitrust, those are just examples of basic consumer complaints.

    And barely that. If one of these is to be taken at face value, you don't need to disclose fees and false advertising is not illegal?

Lawsuits against Meta, Amazon, Google, Kroger, etc. They were actually starting to enforce antitrust laws. Tr*mp DOJ actually started the Google one.

  None of those were split. They're still the same big monopoly/oligopoly companies. So there's nothing happening that could be considered as antitrust.
