A case would be a high-water mark for FTC Chair Lina Khan who gained prominence criticizing the company’s dominance.

Good. Of all the big tech companies, Amazon is most in need of breaking up. They own:

  • eCommerce
  • Advertising
  • Delivery (delivered by Amazon)
  • Product Creation (kindle, kindle fire, etc)
  • AWS. Cloud infrastructure—the monster in the room and most likely to be broken off.
  • Content. purchase of eBooks, music, movies, etc
  • Publishing (eBooks)

I hope they do get broken up as well as the other big tech companies. It's the best thing for all of us, the consumers.
