Well, you might be right. The government would be primarily interested in those divisions that track individuals, collect personal information (spying), sniff email, data center operations, create user profiles, etc. If the Feds break off just those divisions that are involved in these activities, the remaining divisions, such as advertising, productivity software, cloud storage, videos, balloon communications, etc could still be profitable. It would be a weird looking breakup, but I think it could be made to function without losing much functionality to any of the resulting divisions.
