antitrust enforcement
Breaking corporate dominance
Antitrust enforcement is government action to prevent monopolies and promote competition.
Regulators investigate mergers, break up dominant companies, or sue businesses for price-fixing and other anti-competitive practices.
The tech giants faced increased antitrust enforcement from federal agencies.
The term comes from "trust" as a 19th-century corporate arrangement that concentrated market power.
