Usually "breakup" is a byword for regulate.

However, it's possible to see how Amazon being broken into at least one online retailer, a web services company, and a logistics provider and how that may increase competition in each of those markets.

Further, even in your social example, people used Instagram before Facebook bought them and likely still would if divested, and Snap, Tik Tok and more are going strong as independents.

Amazon needs have it's retail side split into a marketplace operator and a retailer.
