Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon are the ones in FANMAG off the top of my head.

Also keep in mind that the existence of the law guides decisions around compliance. There is ample evidence that all of the big decisions at FANMAG are viewed through compliance with anti-trust as a concern. Basically, a lot of big companies haven't been prosecuted because they have armies of lawyers working on where exactly that law kicks in, and how much they can step over the line without putting themselves at serious risk.

The existence of the law itself is a deterrence mechanism. It just seems like the justice department is hampered with a century old law in dealing with a modern world.

I personally think that we should be more zealous in enforcing, or better yet, pass better laws. Move the line way back, essentially.
