While there is a large public appetite for breaking up monopolies, it really does seem that antitrust policy has sadly become something of a bygone era.
A decent authority on the subject is Matt Stoller's book Goliath [1], which lays out the history of US monopolies and how they formed the bedrock for these modern tech companies.
