The claim
Warren pledged to break up big tech companies and unwind their mergers.
The record
Her plan would designate companies with over $25 billion in global revenue that run marketplaces or exchanges as platform utilities barred from owning participants on their platforms, with fines of 5% of annual revenue. Regulators would unwind Amazon's purchases of Whole Foods and Zappos, Facebook's of WhatsApp and Instagram, and Google's of Waze, Nest and DoubleClick.
