    Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter are 
    monopolies and should be broken up.
Dominant market share != monopoly

For a monopoly, you need anticompetitive practices. Is Facebook unfairly preventing the success of other social networks? A good example of a monopoly was 90's era Microsoft, which prevented its OEMs from shipping competing operating systems.

Terminology aside, I completely agree with you that we need far, far more choice in the marketplace.
