I've once worked for a large corporation that got hit hard by antitrust. Think a few tens of billions of dollars. Why? A seller was caught giving freebies if they bought their products. That's it. That's all it took.

I know because due to that incident we had to follow online formation every god damn month about antitrust. You don't have to have a "monopoly" to trigger antitrust legislation. The mere mention of "deals" or "cooperation" or "understanding" in the same conversation that involves competitor can be enough evidence to cause huge trouble.

What Apple and Google are doing is a lot worse than handing out freebies.

Why aren't they getting hit hard by antitrust?

That was my point.

I know, I was just adding an honest question to it. (I should probably have started the first paragraph with "Yes, and... :) )

I guess the reason that megacorps can get away with even worse behavior is that the system is corrupt.
