At Business Insider's 2017 IGNITION conference, NYU marketing professor Scott Galloway gave an impassioned presentation on why Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google — the "big four" tech companies — should be broken up.

It was a crowd favorite.

Galloway, who is also the founder of business intelligence firm L2 Inc., talked through why he thinks four of the richest companies in the world should be split apart because of what he sees as their inflated influence on the markets.
