Abstract
The various antitrust complaints the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have brought against Google, Amazon, and Facebook are based on monopolization claims under Section 2 of the Sherman Act. Herbert Hovenkamp explains why the government should also have relied on Section 1 of the Sherman Act and Section 7 of the Clayton Act to support their Big Tech cases.
