Interesting. What else, besides privacy concerns, could be at play?

A little while ago I played with the idea that if the masses were convinced that breaking up Facebook (or Google, Amazon, etc) was a good idea and that it eventually happened - the surviving BigTech "shrapnel" would be less capable to stand up against a government seeking information or control over them.
A paranoid and overly Orwellian idea for sure, but interesting to play around with!
