If the breakup does happen, the internet will become a brand new place, but if it doesn't happen, Google creates Skynet for real.

Kidding, but it is interesting to think about what would happen if the breakup does or doesn't happen.

I‘m probably wrong, but at this point only a real (benevolent) super intelligence can solve our biggest problems and questions (climate change, pollution, energy, deep space travel, chronic and terminal diseases, mass scale decision finding, consciousness).

Futurism aside. The only thing that will happen happen if Google is broken up, is Microsoft/Amazon/Tencent/Baidu taking over their share. The internet is not quite like other industries. The biggest possible scale will eventually assimilate almost everything.
