Break up Google.
Browser is one company. YouTube is another. The search a third company. The ad one has to be the richest and should be it's own.
Then once you cut down Google into manageable companies, go after Facebook.
Would that really be that bad? Another browser will take its place, or Chromium will be forked. The worst thing would be YouTube going down, but even that is not that bad. Even so, I don't think YouTube would necessarily disappear; it would probably be bought by some other company for pennies on the dollar. If that happened, I think it would be a mild inconvenience but nothing too crazy. In all, I say break it up!
Microsoft might take over Chromium.
Nobody's taking over YouTube, at least not for long (or without massive changes).
