Topic 1:

Antitrust Regulation

Antitrust regulation is designed to increase competition by eliminating attempts to monopolize an industry (other than through better products or better management) as well as by attacking certain patterns of illegal conduct (i.e. price fixing and exclusionary contracts that foreclose competitor business). For this forum, discuss your belief on “tech giants” violating antitrust laws. Do you feel Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft etc. are in violation of such antitrust regulation?

Write about 400 words.

Topic 2:

Write an essay of at least 500 words discussing how database auditing and monitoring fit within a SOX compliance framework.
