>What would you break Apple up into?...

And how would breaking Apple up, help with hate messages being posted on twitter, facebook, and youtube?

Taking it a step further, I mean, what would even be the basis on which you order a breakup of Apple? It's pretty set in law from the telcos way back to the railroads that monopolies are the reason to break a company up. (At least, that's the law in the US.)

But how do you argue that a company with a minority market share in all of its product lines, is a monopoly???

People have not quite thought through all the nuts and bolts of this whole "break up tech companies" idea.

(Although, I think at this point, one could argue effectively, that Google and Facebook are monopolies. It'd just be more difficult with companies like Apple or Netflix or companies like that.)
