The Trump administration is expected to be softer on antitrust cases, which as we know are one of Sweeney's major pursuits.

          Yes but there was a genuine attempt of the DOJ to apply antitrust laws to big tech. Not saying they would have succeeded and big tech would have attempted to corrupt the process all the way with the Dems in charge. Nevertheless, they seemed to face some risk under Dems that has now passed.

            Just because the neighbor’s kid gets to eat ice cream and play video games all day, doesn’t mean you should. You can be better or at least people were misled to believe it.
