I'm unpersuaded by Warren's arguments for breaking up big tech. If her strongest concerns are that the big tech companies are anti-competitive and loose wrt privacy I think Tyler Cowen makes some strong counter arguments.
1. The big tech companies are not true monopolies. They simply offer a better service than current competitors. It's hardly set in stone that Facebook, for instance, will continue to hold it's majority in social networking.
2. I'd trust a large company like Google who has stronger data protection policies in place than the smaller alternative also in the same space.
3. Breaking up or regulating more strongly distracts some of the most productive and innovative companies.
