Way overdue but also required for the rest of the big tech companies. Look at how Google and others can lose billions on one failed product after the next - any smaller company would go bankrupt. Competition isn’t fair when one player can just afford to take risks and failures of that scale. And then there’s all the anti competitive aspects like network effects or bundling or whatever. We need all new laws around anti trust because a monopoly today looks different from a monopoly a hundred years back.
