This is one of my favorite classics of Hacker News: searching for the nefarious companies behind the anti-trust action.

It's interesting because it's clearly an attempt to take populist suspicion of corporations and redirect it towards opposing a policy that would reduce consolidated control in markets.

It would be a wholly incomplete picture to think that such actions are happening organically. Whether antitrust is justified or not, ignoring the behind the scenes maneuvering will do a disservice to the discussion.
