/ˌæntiˈtrʌstər/ noun

Definition

A person who opposes trusts or monopolies, or someone who supports antitrust laws that prevent unfair business practices.

Kelly Says

The antitrusters of the 1900s were like the tech regulators of today—fighting powerful companies that controlled entire industries, proving that every era has its monopoly battles.
