Just curious, what are the arguments for Microsoft and Apple?

Significant market shares

Broken up by who actually? Owners or Government? And seriously why?????
Amazon lgtmshipit OP Jun 12, 2019
Government... Google for the opinions a bit...

They don't have and shouldn't have any right to do so.

Instagram should be its own company. It’s the only product that’s relevant
