Breaking them up will accomplish nothing.
The misinformation and journalism complaints are all on facebook itself... forcing them to sell WhatsApp/IG does nothing other make liberals/progressives feel like they've stuck it to the 1%

IG specifically as a competitor and not a subsidiary will definitely cut into their market share.

I get it, but forcing them to sell off IG/WhatsApp only?

To what end?
The complaint seems to be centered around disinformation/hate groups/ fake news/ not paying news outlets/ etc on FB...
What does dropping IG/WhatsApp do to address this?

Their influence is expressed exclusively through FB... no one is on WhatsApp pushing any narratives

If no one is on IG or what's app spreading misinformation and they gain market share by being a separate entity that decreases the amount of people exposed to misinformation.
