> What would you break Apple up into?

Apple the device manufacturer and iTunes (or whatever) the streaming content service provider.

> Or Facebook?

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp.

> I guess you could break up Google

Alphabet makes this easy. YouTube, Cloud Compute and the other things.

> it's basically a natural monopoly

Natural monopolies don’t have to acquire potential competitors to protect their flanks. Facebook minus Instagram would be very different today.
