Or if you're a lay person who is sharing a newly peer-reviewed, published (in a reputable journal) clinical trial that shows otherwise.

Realistically, lay people should probably not make claims either way about the thing because even attempting to summarize a reputable and peer-reviewed study has pitfalls, if you don't know what you're talking about. Like GP.

Post a link to the thing and let your social media followers read it for themselves.

Is competition supposed to be easy?

Did Google do this?

Look, I can't say I'm a big fan of Google and I try to avoid them wherever I can, but I don't know that they're a monopoly.

Simply being a monopoly isn't illegal (at least not in the US). It's only when said monopoly harms competition with behavior that is specifically anti-competitive.

On the other hand, I think Amazon is a different story. They own the strip mall and the largest store inside it, but they also have detailed data on every other store - what consumers are buying, how much they're paying, etc. I would be extremely unsurprised if Amazon isn't using that data to crush competition.
