Big tech companies like Google, Meta (Facebook's parent company), Apple, and Amazon are facing legal trouble! The government thinks they've been acting like monopolies, meaning they control too much of the market. This could change how they do business. It all started with a lawsuit against Google.
- The government wants to break up Google, arguing it has too much power in online search.
- Other big tech companies face similar lawsuits, including Meta, Apple, and Amazon.
- A new administration may change how these cases are handled.
- The outcome of these cases could dramatically impact the tech industry and the economy.

Meta | Antitrust issues with Instagram & WhatsApp | Forced sale of Instagram and/or WhatsApp |
