I see Apple is missing from your list.


As far as I can tell their market control is limited to just their devices which though still significant isn't enough for a breakup to make sense to me.

That's not too say nothing should be done to prevent abuse of the control they do have.


Walmart isn't even close to market control, so what's the reasoning there? Just too big for you personally?


Walmart yeilds quite a bit of market control. I'm not sure on the specifics though but they are a powerful retail force that's wrapped around many lives in the U.S.


While I am sympathetic to the issue, I'm concerned about how we can achieve our goals within the limits of the legal framework. Should we break up Kelly services or Robert half staffing? Should we break up GitHub?


Apple's vertical integration could be broken up, so other companies can take advantage of it.
