I think it's pretty clear from history that they are too big to have to pay out a huge settlement.

First, they never had to. There was never a "huge" settlement, nothing that actually did hurt.

Second, the US don't do any kind of antitrust, and if a government outside the US tries to fine a US TooBigTech, the US will bully that government (or group of governments) until they give up.

Anthropic had to pay $1.5 billion recently so you're incorrect. I'm sure more of such cases will come up against big tech too.

		It's obviously more profitable to pay the fine than to not do the illegal thing in the first place, so I am correct.
