Definitely want to elaborate more on this in another post but top of mind.. - Amazon - Meta - Alphabet I think the main arguments against it will be a) omg this isn't even technically possible to break these companies up and b) omg this will destroy the economy. Looking at history breaking up companies like Standard Oil and AT&T led to explosions of innovation. The prolonged battle against IBM allowed Microsoft to emerge. The antitrust battle against Microsoft allowed today's giants like Amazon and Google to emerge
