I think Alphabet may have to spin off both Android and YouTube to satisfy the FTC. Amazon may have to spin off the Washington Post and Whole Foods Market. And Facebook may have to sell off both Instagram and WhatsApp.

I doubt Amazon would have to spin off Whole Foods... it’s not as if that grocer has a dominant position (or even is aiming for that).

Not sure about their ownership of the Washington Post - again, it doesn’t create a monopoly, does it?

This is all a bit beyond my pay grade!

But Alphabet (aka - Google) is a whole other situation. They dominate so many aspects of the marketplace - from arguably the most used mobile operating system (also found in many static devices like streaming boxes and Smart TVs). The FTC may indeed force the spin-off of some big chunks... We shall see.

Amazon also needs to spin off AWS ...
