Jeff goes to space and leaves Mackenzie to handle the mess on earth. Who's winning the divorce now?https://twitter.com/carlquintanilla/status/1403366347896197127 …

Amazon loses AWS. Google probably loses Android. I can't tell what Apple loses, they're just hardware.

Would make more sense for Google to lose YouTube imo, with apple they would probably be forced to divest parts of the software services division

yeah I don't think they make that much on Android (could be wrong) but with youtube I believe they're pretty cagey about it's profitability and hint it might lose money because (I imagine) there's few fatter targets if the numbers got released on it

Android gives them the ability to shake down every handset manufacturer out there with the Google Play agreement.

There are reasons to leave Android alone, of course: security of a unified ecosystem is nothing to sneeze at. There are going to be serious tradeoffs in the space.

I feel you. My other thinking too is that the integration/leverage it gives google is bad but there's low hanging fruit and then there's instagram literally lying on the ground begging to be split off.

Whatsapp too, come to think of it. IMHO Google has actually a pretty good job of preparing for antitrust action.
