I wonder if an antitrust suit will be filed, this seems like a pretty significant acquisition.

Considering the words they're using across the announcement, it seems they're well aware what this will trigger, everything seems carefully chosen so someone can later point at this announcement and say "See, we think this will add MORE user choice, not less, which is good for competition!".

It will lead to more choice ... in videos to watch. It will reduce choice in where to watch them or who to pay for the pleasure.

Great re-iteration of my point :) Written for anti-trust regulators, intentionally misusing the words they'd use, but with very different meaning. Hopefully professionals will see through their thin veil.
