Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) Stock Discussions on Social Media

'Inevitable' Google and Facebook will pay for Australian news, treasurer saysJosh Frydenberg has warned the internet giants it is “inevitable” they will pay for news content and their threats to shut down core functions in Australia do them a “big disservice”.At a doorstop on Sunday, the treasurer said the Morrison’s government intended to become a “world leader” in regulating social media and search companies, who he accused of shifting the goalposts in their opposition to the proposed bargaining code of conduct.Google and Facebook are both fighting against legislation currently before the parliament that would force them to enter into negotiations with news media companies for payment for content, with an arbiter to ultimately decide the payment amount if no agreement can be reached.On Friday, the pair escalated the dispute by threatening to remove the Google search engine from Australia and Facebook to remove news from the Facebook feeds of all Australian users.The threats follow the revelation that Google has been experimenting with hiding some Australian news sites from search results, in a move media outlets said was a show of “extraordinary power”.Frydenberg told reporters in Melbourne the government had worked with the Australian competition regulator for two years developing the code to “see the digital giants pay for original content that is generated by our media businesses”.Frydenberg accused the tech companies of “changing the goalposts” by first opposing the government’s proposal of final offer arbitration and now opposing paying for clicks on media content displayed in search results.He said “if the clicks for media content is such a small proportion of their overall clicks on the search” that would be reflected in the payment determined by the independent arbiter.Frydenberg noted the government’s position was supported by media companies and public polling, after a Dynata poll conducted for the Australia Institute’s Centre for Responsible Technology found that four in five respondents found it “disturbing” that Australian results could be removed from news feeds.“It seems that digital giants did themselves a big disservice last week when they very openly and publicly threatened the Australian public with pulling out of Australia effectively with search if legislation proceeds as it currently stands,” Frydenberg said.

Banning individuals and denying free speech by $TWTR $GOOG $APPL $FB will not be tolerated. It is the surest sign that big tech needs to be broken up. Consolidation and concentration of any type of power (power, money, influence) inevitably lead to abuse of that power. Ironic that GOOGs first motto was "do no evil." They may all think they are too big to fail. I guess that depends on how you define "fail." In my opinion, they just did.

You guys don’t understand how important privacy is. You let google take your information. DuckDuckGo is the best privacy so far. Until it’s to late and you supporting this company will be the downfall of the economy. You never read the privacy terms & condition. Watch the Edward Snowden movie. Great example! Money isn’t that important at that point

Alphabet always has haters, since day 1. Can't remember all the reasons they had for hating this stock. Some haters are Occupy Wall Streeter group that hate all stocks. My daughter bought 1 shr. of GOOG for 390 and now has 2 shrs. GOOGL worth 3740.

Go GOOG. I wouldn't worry a wit about antitrust case. The world could end by then.

Wow congrats to all the holders great company hope to own it some day

$1900 today? Yay or nay?

I sat on the fence for 3 weeks about joining (http://Fairstox.com) for their weekly picks. Big mistake. GOOG exploded and I completely missed out. Don’t make the same mistake I made. Join them today.

GOOGL reached an all time high at 1919.50

Been enjoying this little run GOOGL has can on. Hope everyone here has a great day!

Google threatens to withdraw search engine from AustraliaGoogle has threatened to remove its search engine from Australia over the nation's attempt to make the tech giant share royalties with news publishers.Australia is introducing a landmark law to make Google, Facebook and potentially other tech companies pay media outlets for their news content.But the US tech giants have fought back, arguing the laws are onerous and would damage local access to services.“If this version of the code were to become law, it would give us no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia," said Mel Silva, managing director of Google Australia."We do not see a way, with the financial and operational risks, that we could continue to offer a service in Australia."Australian politicians are scheduled to debate the laws in parliament this year.Google Search is the dominant search engine in Australia and has been described by the government as a near-essential utility with little market competition.The government has argued that because the tech giants gain customers from people who want to read the news, the tech giants should pay newsrooms a "fair" amount for their journalism.Google's threat to remove its primary product is its most severe yet, in a debate being closely watched globally amid increasing debate about regulating the power of big tech.Ms Silva said the laws would set "an untenable precedent for our businesses" and were not compatible with the free-flowing share of information online or "how the internet works".Last week, after reports surfaced in local media, Google confirmed it was blocking Australian news sites in its search results for about 1% of local users. It said it was an experiment to test the value of Australian news services.Facebook last year also threatened to stop Australian users from sharing news stories on the platform if the law went ahead.

Reversal after attempted breakout on high volume is worrisome.

Google finally breaks $1900 today, marching towards $2000 with volumes today. It should surpass $2000 prior to or after earning report 2/2. I am holding my leaps option tightly.

Looking like $2000 is inevitable at this point.
