The image cites their revenue, not profits. Big tech juggernauts tend to have very tight profit margins, if they're profitable at all. So even fining them a small portion of their revenue can hurt.
That said, the real way to hurt them isn't money at all, it's users. If everyone on voat convinced 10 people to ditch google twitter and facebook, they'd notice.

Neither will jail or monetary fines.

probably the only thing you'll accomplish is them moving off shore. Besides who PAYS the money to the COMPANIES that give it to big tech? YOU DO.

It's very simple. Anyone who types in google.com or your variation of domain extension, the ISPs in your country are require to redirect such a request by a internet user to a local search engine. 75% of internet users won't even tell the difference. Watch how their entire monopoly comes crumbling down.

Agreed it IS a viable solution. Diverse and INDEPENDANT control, but not only that, certain FEDERAL policies would ALSO be adhered to (freedom of speech, NO spying, etc).

Under what law would you do this?

It's not about stoping them... It's about profiting off of them.
