But no worries: in a democracy we expect ordinary people to have some interest in the laws, after all, they are supposed to be electing people who decide on how laws should be changed (or not). So layman need to talk about laws, too.
I'm just always a bit cautious (or at least I should be). I know that eg in the US insider trading is about stealing secret from your employer; but in eg France insider trading is about having an unfair advantage over the public.
I can image that there are jurisdictions that treat monopolies by themselves as a problem. (Perhaps France, again?)
Btw, for the US herself have a look at https://fee.org/articles/the-myth-that-standard-oil-was-a-pr... to see how the prototypical case against Standard Oil wasn't really about monopoly abuse, either. At least no one really bothered proving that a monopoly was abused, they mostly just assumed it.
