Youtube, Facebook, and others- Just did something illegal?

Via Hank Oslo, what's known as refusal to deal:

A refusal to deal or a concerted refusal to deal is an agreement between competing companies, or between a company and an individual or business, that stipulates that they refuse to do business with another. A refusal to deal violates the Sherman Antitrust Act and other antitrust laws, and is illegal in the United States.

We've had another sort of refusal- a refusal to prosecute, especially back in 2008, but it's probably been going on for decades. We need people to get on this. This is not a free market, and these companies have taken advantage of the swamp and it's influence to gain market share and reduce competitors to insignificance.

I seldom watch Alex Jones. Try to when somebody I like goes on his show, but frankly, it's tough to listen to him. But frankly, I hope the D.O.J. gets involved here.
