Facebook is easy. Break off Instagram and WhatsApp. Those acquisitions should never have been allowed. Amazon might look like splitting retail from AWS or similar.

Great, now you have a $480 billion company and two $20 billion companies.
Breaking Amazon apart into a retail business and a cloud computing business to address monopoly concerns is about the most pointless idea possible. If you think that Amazon exerts a monopoly influence over retail and cloud computing, splitting off AWS does nothing to address that.
what exactly is facebook monopolizing?
Advertising.
In what way? Be less vague.
