They broke up also Standard Oil, which is perhaps closer to current situation with tech.

True, rich people are the worst welfare bums (C) Ron Paul. From so-called "defense" to NFL where rich owners avoid paying local taxes with medical industry in between.
Railroads were far from a monopoly as a result of a free market. Their monopoly originated not as a result of efficient investment strategies, but rather from special privileges afforded by the government.

At this point the US is a lot more crony capitalism than free market.

Bzzzt. Wrong. A free market requires competition. Breaking up monopolies is a core job of the federal government. Monopoly busting is essential to a free market.
Like monopoly busting to ensure a free market. A free market would include being innovative and competitive enough to become a monopoly.

Trump has alluded many times to an internet bill of rights. It is desperately needed if we want to keep ourselves from devolving into nazi germany.
That's why the "Create an Alternative" is BS.

Now Youtube has eliminated Infowars.
Love seeing Liberals who are like "Always let dissident voices be heard" making the "It's a business, so..." argument. That doesn't mean they're wrong.
But I do enjoy the same people who bitch about "Net Neutrality" claiming that ISPs can censor or at least speed or delay speech that they like or dislike, defend content platforms censoring speech (and not in a transparent, objective way).
Note that Louis Farrakhan still up. I personally checked for Infowars Newstream and it's been banned for "Violating Community Standards". However, Young Turks is still up.
