Google and Meta started hurting other giant corporations though. That’s a big no no.

And Walmart isn’t? I bet Kroger and Aldi would have something to say about their entry into the grocery market.

remember, the google and meta things are about advertisng tech.
It’s hurting walmart, kroger, and several others who are- basically- monopolies on their own. (and have many, many in congress paid off.)
I’m not saying any corpo is somehow magically benevolent. No, I’m saying if you stick your hand in a tank full of hungry sharks… yer gonna get bit.

Yeah and my point is that any monopoly is harmful and should be busted, but the trust-busters seem to only care about the ones that affect their rich patrons.
