This is going to be tough politically to fight. If I had to guess the tactic that would be used to fight it from the other side is something of the sort:

"If we force these regulations on Facebook / Google / etc. or break them up, the stock market will go down (aka your 401k)."

Whether that's true or not for the common folk, it's a surprisingly effective tactic.

And it's definitely true for those at the top of the economic food chain, who are likely invested in these companies.

Given they tend to have more power politically, I just don't see us touching this.
