Sacks predicted that, at some unspecified future time, dominant U.S. tech platforms such as Amazon, Google, Apple, and Facebook/Meta would be broken up or otherwise knocked down because they are too powerful.

As of 30 November 2025, none of these firms has actually been broken up or forced to divest major businesses by a final, implemented antitrust remedy. In the main U.S. search-monopoly case, a judge has ruled that Google violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act, and the DOJ has formally asked for structural remedies such as forcing Google to sell the Chrome browser and potentially Android, but the remedies phase is still underway and no divestiture order has yet been issued. (en.wikipedia.org) In a separate U.S. ad-tech case, a court found Google illegally monopolized parts of the open‑web ad‑tech stack; the DOJ is now seeking divestiture of key ad‑tech units, with a remedies hearing scheduled, but again no breakup has yet been ordered or carried out.

Apple, Meta, and Amazon are likewise facing major antitrust actions, but outcomes are still pending. The DOJ’s 2024 smartphone‑monopoly case against Apple survived a motion to dismiss and is moving forward with no remedy determined. (en.wikipedia.org) The FTC’s case against Meta, which seeks structural relief around Instagram and WhatsApp, only went to trial in April 2025 and has not yet produced a decision. (en.wikipedia.org) The FTC’s large antitrust suit against Amazon’s marketplace is scheduled for trial in 2027, while a separate case over dark patterns in Prime signups ended in a monetary settlement and conduct changes, not a breakup.

Outside the U.S., the EU’s Digital Markets Act has imposed tough conduct rules and significant fines on gatekeepers such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Meta, and it allows for structural remedies (including breakups) in cases of systematic non‑compliance. However, enforcement to date has consisted of fines and behavioral orders, not forced divestitures or corporate breakups. (commission.europa.eu)

Given that (1) the companies have not yet been broken up and (2) the major antitrust and regulatory proceedings that might eventually produce such outcomes remain unresolved, the prediction cannot currently be called right or wrong. It is simply too early to tell whether these actions will ultimately break up the firms or significantly reduce their consolidated power, so the result is best classified as inconclusive.
