Could what happened to FB help bring the other tech giants crashing down?

If not crashing down, perhaps down a few pegs.

Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are essentially monopolies in their areas of social media. The price of not being broken up as illegal monopolies should be a version of net neutrality under which they can only ban or suspend or demonetize or otherwise take action against a user for clearly illegal speech (eg cold porn, terrorism, making terroristic threats, etc).

Otherwise, they should be broken up. Their monopoly position is dangerous to freedom of speech.
