Antitrust cases against tech companies often take so long that the market changes before the court can rule. That timing problem can make even serious allegations much harder to prove.

Breaking up a tech company is not a slogan; it is a remedy with operational, legal, and political consequences. If regulators ever tried to unwind Meta’s past deals, the hard part would begin after the courtroom win.

Antitrust cases age badly when the market moves faster than the courtroom. By the time a trial begins, the hardest question is often no longer what happened, but what still matters.

Winning an antitrust case does not automatically tell a court what to do next. In tech, the hardest remedy question is often whether an old deal can realistically be pulled apart years later.
