How would one split up Facebook? Amazon? What would it look like?
- AlexandrB 7y agoFacebook is easy. Break off Instagram and WhatsApp. Those acquisitions should never have been allowed. Amazon might look like splitting retail from AWS or similar.

- soulofmischief 7y agoIn what way? Be less vague.
- zinclozenge 7y agoGreat, now you have a $480 billion company and two $20 billion companies.
- dodobirdlord 7y agoBreaking Amazon apart into a retail business and a cloud computing business to address monopoly concerns is about the most pointless idea possible. If you think that Amazon exerts a monopoly influence over retail and cloud computing, splitting off AWS does nothing to address that.
- specialist 7y agoEliminate the self-dealing by cleaving the advertising marketplaces from their other businesses. They can still show ads. They just wouldn't be able to run the auctions, exchanges, etc.
