Between the convoluted EU rules and whatever the multiple US antitrust cases outcomes are, it could be a lot simpler: Chrome, Android, Youtube, and Gmail all must be divested. The ad & search business don't really appear separable, but everything else certainly is.

How? Projects like Chrome are adj delivery and surveillance platforms wholly funded by the ad business for the benefit of the ad busines. What would a spinoff look like?

Search and ad is one to be split too. I see no reason why search cannot operate just like every other website. Just add billion tracking cookies and do the usual.

I am rooting for that too.

It's becoming unbearable, and I'm just not an Apple guy.

Also break iOS and Store from Apple.
