Whether or not one has the right to computing freedom is irrelevant. The federal government has the unquestioned authority to set the rules for interstate and international commerce. Breaking them up is not a takeover, by definition, since the government will not end up as the owners of those businesses. It is a restructuring of the market in furtherance of our goal of a free market economy based on fair rules and equality before the law. Further, pushing responsibility onto individual consumers to (somehow) shape the market "with their wallet" is absurd. The highest purpose of a public government is that it can serve to protect the common folk from the abuses of concentrated wealth. Asking regulators to do their job isn't coercive, it's corrective.
