Exactly.

So you think the Biden administration should be using antitrust laws as a tool to strong-arm private businesses about what social practices it deems unacceptable, and you're ok with that.

No.

I think the DOJ is within its right to investigate whether or not it is anticompetitive for Apple to use its market share to influence consumers to purchase its iphone by breaking text messaging when its users are texting non-apple users.

I agree with this specific case under whoever's administration because it is objectively good for the consumer.

This is what antitrust laws are, for good or bad.
