1. mail business

If you offer up their mail business, it's fairly straightforward in principle, because it's IMAP and related mailbox protocols, which a messenger or Twitter X–style service could integrate without excessive difficulty.

Paypal handles the payment gateway side of things.

That part is more complex to implement, especially when adding end-to-end encryption and other protections that existing services already provide for users.

The mailbox is easier to manage if you already support messaging, payments, or cryptographic encryption protocols.

2. maps

I think Apple Maps is available as an alternative, and there may be legal avenues to address privacy concerns related to imagery captured without consent.

In some cases a legal remedy could require data deletion or anonymization; how that data is handled afterward depends on the specifics of any ruling or settlement.

3. search

Search is one of Google's central assets and a core part of its business.

I believe FB or X, and even Microsoft, could enter or expand in web indexing and related services, potentially experimenting with new models like open auctioning or transparent bidding for listings.

Google effectively operates an online directory-like service and derives substantial revenue from it.

Consider the influence that comes from controlling such a directory and decisions about which entities are listed.

Some view that level of concentration as concerning. Historical competitive moves and leadership changes involving figures such as Eric, Larry, and Marissa Mayer have influenced the industry and are part of that discussion.

There have also been reports and concerns about internal communication policies and how employees who speak up are treated; such reports can raise ethical and legal questions that merit careful review.

Critics note that serious governance problems can lead to significant reputational and financial consequences, and historical examples of corporate failure are often cited when discussing those risks.

4. the quantum computing chip willow

This technology is promising, and companies like Nvidia and TMSC also produce strong chips; geopolitical tensions can add complexity to supply chains and market dynamics.

Quantum computing involves processes and tools that can be studied and developed further; engineers working in these areas commonly operate under NDAs or non-compete agreements.

If such agreements were successfully challenged on legal grounds, access to technical knowledge could change.

Those individuals might then establish their own firms or share expertise more broadly.

Other companies, including Microsoft, could also pursue similar research and attempt to replicate technologies through their own development efforts.

5. tags or analytics

FB or X could offer analytics and tagging services to businesses as part of a broader suite of tools.

If several firms expanded into analytics and related services, it could diminish Google's dominance in some areas.

One proposal that comes up in these discussions is ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.

Whether the White House, Congress, or other authorities would support or approve such measures is uncertain and would depend on political and legal considerations.

Significant potential revenue or policy impacts can influence decision-making by stakeholders and regulators.
