Not if they were required to allow content creators to utilize alternate ad platforms to inject ads before or after the run. Sure they'd still have the option to kick the creators out of search or off the platform entirely, but that potentially enables alternative hosting platforms. There used to be (and might still be) limits on how much national advertising national networks could require local stations to carry, on the theory this made local stations more independent (and in tune with local needs). This is my 21st century version of that regulation. Like I said, I'm not even sure I'm in favor of such a break up, but I can see the historical parallels.
