"Ever wondered how anti-trust laws keep corporate giants like amazon, apple, and google in check and prevent monopolies? Stemming from the 1800s, the term 'anti-trust' comes from the practice of forming a 'trust' to combine several businesses into one giant company. Anti-Trust Laws help keep the business world fair by halting unfair price controls, stopping businesses from competing in dishonest ways, and preventing the same person from heading competing businesses. Examples of their impact include the breakup of AT&T in the 80s and a recent lawsuit against Google's parent company, Alphabet, for anti-competitive behaviors in digital advertising. What's your take on anti-trust laws and companies like Google and Amazon? Drop your thoughts in the comments!"
