Fines aren't a way to just buy your way out of obeying the law. At some point if they persist in monopolistic activities then they will get broken up.




The last time that happened was almost half a century ago afaik. I highly doubt Big Tech entities will get broken up in our lifetime

I don't think the FTC prioritizes that right now

I don't think they've prioritized that ever in recent memory, or they would have already been broken up a long time ago.
