From someone with zero knowledge of this process of breaking up large companies (example: Instagram and Facebook), how would that work exactly? Obviously the company would split and become two entities - but what then? How do the finances work? Each business becomes independently run and cannot affiliate with each other? Are there protections against "freebie" services, for example Facebook providing free services/data sharing to Instagram where it may be a paid feature for other companies?
We're used to a world of such clear division and fighting between the 2 parties: democrats and republicans.<p>But, The irony here is that it's democrats that are threatening to break up facebook and yet facebook is deeply democratic/liberal.
