Breaking up tech firms won't actually accomplish anything. If you break up facebook into four different "facebooks", the market will just decide which of those four is "the new facebook", and the other three will fail. And then you'll just have facebook again, with a different name. That's how tech businesses work. No one uses the second best version of eBay.
