In the United States, the purpose of antitrust laws is to maintain a competitive market, to produce high-quality goods in a sustainable market, and to promote economic welfare is its main focus. The court can take two remedies against antitrust violations: one is behavioral remedies that try to restrict the company from engaging in specific anti-competitive behaviors, and the other is structural remedies that essentially dissolve the company so that anti-competitive behaviors are no longer possible or beneficial.

Technology companies have risen through innovative means, but critics believe that the methods they use to maintain market dominance violate antitrust regulations.
The four major technology companies, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, are often accused of using anti-competitive business methods to use their market dominance to stifle competitors.
