Should Big Tech be broken up?

The test question and the possible answers

The tech giants should be broken up.

What's at stake: The debate pits the power of a few platforms, seen as excessive, against the useful services they provide thanks to their size.

The left's argument

These giants have too much economic and political power: breaking them up reopens markets.

The centre's argument

Strict rules on competition and openness, rather than a full break-up.

The right's argument

These companies were born of innovation. Breaking them up would destroy useful services.
