I wonder how the "break-up bill" would be applied in practice for specific companies. Does that mean that e.g. Apple Music would now have to become a separate entity?

It means that "Apple Music" cannot rely on an "online platform" (large online service) owned by Apple. A more practical example is that Google can't run its ad-tech services in GCP. And Amazon cannot run its online store in AWS. They could, however, use each other's cloud. But not their own.

  So Google has to run a second cloud service that's only used internally?

  That's interesting. I would say we wouldn't have AWS if Amazon couldn't have built it by scratching it's own itch. But also, couldn't Amazon just spin up an "internal" AWS style system, instead of using a competitors cloud service?
