A gentle contradiction in the article: "a full-scale break-up would cripple the platforms’ economies of scale"

but later:

"Trustbusters should scrutinise mergers to gauge whether a deal is likely to neutralise a potential long-term threat"

There also seems to be plenty of middle ground there. Like forcing a sell-off of Waze and Instagram without breaking up the whole parent company.
