In theory yes. In practice or will require enormous resources to build a case against the army of layers that Google and the other giants can afford. I believe only the government now is big enough to do it, with the antitrust law.
Which I'm pretty sure they're already gunning for Google, so this might be more evidence for their case.
Hope so. I’d imagine their lawyers will see this with joy.
