Justice Department Reviewing the Practices of Market-Leading Online Platforms

The Justice Department is "reviewing the practices" of big tech companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple. Who knows if they will actually do anything...but they are looking into it.

The Department of Justice announced today that the Department’s Antitrust Division is reviewing whether and how market-leading online platforms have achieved market power and are engaging in practices that have reduced competition, stifled innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers.
