xAI & Apple settle antitrust suit! ✅ Musk's companies dropped the case alleging Apple favored OpenAI. But the lawsuit against OpenAI, filed August 2025, continues. It claims OpenAI has an illegal chatbot monopoly & stifles competition via iPhone integration. #xAI #Apple #OpenAI #Antitrust

Terrific 2-page history of #antitrust including details on steel, farmers, and unions Wu&Khan skip, iirc. Note getting the law in place was not enough, it took another crisis and election to get it enforced and fixed.

Technology and the Rise of Antitrust Because antitrust law is confusing—some would say contused-it is helpful to look at the history of antitrust and the evolution of key prin- ciples. From the beginning, antitrust was intimately connected with new technology-in particular, new technology that exhibited economies of scale. The last quarter of the nineteenth century witnessed a wave of new large-scale technologies. In chapter 3 we saw how the Bessemer process revolutionized steel production, slashing the price of steel rails. With cheap rails and new railroad technology, railroads experlenced an investment boom. Increasingly, with lower transportation costs, the market for farm Produce grew and farmers turned to commercial agriculture. Other tech- nologies similarly changed petroleum refining, sugar refining, meat produc- tion, farm machinery, and other industries with substantial scale economies. New technologies used by a small number of large firms brought lower prices and new opportunities in many industries, but with that they also gave those large firms, called trusts, significant power over people's lives. Railroads gave farmers new opportunities in commercial agriculture, but they also meant that farmers became dependent on railroads. In many rural regions, only a single railroad was economically feasible, so local mo- nopolies tended to emerge. Although railroads initially provided lower transportation costs, they also had the power to raise prices, which they used, squeezing the farmers. The power and unfairness of the railroads became a major issue for the populist movement. The public's deep outrage led to the Interstate Com- merce Act of 1887, which regulated railroad rates, and the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. This was the first federal legislation covering competition, but it faced significant dificulties in the courts. Indeed, during the first decade of the Sherman Act, there were no successful prosecutions of large compa- nies. Instead, the Sherman Act was used against labor unions. PLATFORMS AND ANTITRUST 147 But during the first decade of the twentieth century, public outrage deepened further, fanned by so-called muckraking journalists who exposed corruption in government, unfair behavior of large corporations, and other social ills, such as lynching, sexual harassment, and the treatment of the mentally ill. The muckrakers exposed company use of child labor and the oppression of unions. Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle bared the unhealthy practices of meat packers and other food companies; Justice Brandeis wrote about how banks promoted the consolidation of industries in a few hands; Samuel Hopkins Adams revealed the false claims made by pharmaceutical companies; Ida Tarbell vividly painted the details of how Standard Oil extorted its way to become the largest oil refiner in the world. President Theodore Roosevelt picked up on this broad discontent, mak- ing trust-busting part of his Square Deal. Under Roosevelt, the United States initiated a lawsuit against Standard Oil for Sherman Act violations, winning a victory in 1911 that led to the dissolution of the company. That victory marked the real start of antitrust enforcement in the United States. In 1914, recognizing the weakness of the Sherman Act, Congress passed the Clayton Antitrust Act, which significantly strengthened antitrust en- forcement powers and detailed various forms of illegal conduct.

A federal judge declined to break up Google's ad monopoly. Turns out if your empire is massive enough, regulators just sigh and look away. Meanwhile I got kicked off the public library Wi-Fi for hogging 40kbps of bandwidth. #Antitrust #AdTech
