Google resolves French copyright dispute over online content
By: Dominique Vidalon | June 21, 2022
• $SPX seemingly range bound between 0.75 and 1.0 std dev. Waiting to see signs of direction. Overbought condition worked out.
PARIS (Reuters) -Alphabet unit Google has committed to resolving a copyright dispute in France over online content, the country's antitrust authority said on Tuesday, as pressure mounts for big tech platforms to share more of their revenue with news outlets.
Google, owned by Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), also dropped its appeal against a 500 million euro ($528 million) fine, the authority said. The fine was paid last year.
The decision ends the authority's investigation into Google, which has agreed to talk with news agencies and other publishers about paying them for using their news on its platform.
Google will commit to a remuneration proposal within three months of the start of negotiations, and if no agreement can be found, the matter will be settled by a court.
The U.S. company will also ensure the negotiations will have no impact on the way the news is presented on its search pages.
The ruling comes as international pressure mounts on online platforms such as Google and Facebook (NASDAQ:META) to share more revenue with news outlets.
"The authority believes that the commitments made by Google have the characteristics to address the competition concerns," France's Autorite de la Concurrence said in its ruling.
The head of the antitrust authority, Benoit Coeure, said the ruling would be closely examined by other European countries.
It concludes a three-year-old case triggered by complaints from some of France's biggest news organisations, including AFP.
MEDIA OUTLETS 'DEPRIVED OF POTENTIAL REVENUE STREAM'
News publishers had argued that the rise of Google's ad sales online was underpinned by the exploitation of excerpts of their news content online, depriving them of a potential revenue stream at a time of a decline in print sales.
The tech giant, which has since signed deals with several of the plaintiffs, initially rejected such claims, saying the web traffic it brought via its search engine and news aggregator steered a significant number of internet users to news websites, thus allowing publishers to generate their own ad-based revenue.
AFP and several leading news organisations, including newspapers Le Monde, Le Figaro and Liberation, have since announced separate deals with Google, which are meant to cover this copyright law.
The terms of the deals have not been disclosed.
Sebastien Missoffe, country manager and VP for Google France, wrote in a blog post that Google had agreements with more than 150 press publications in France for "neighboring rights".
"We will continue to work on securing more agreements with eligible French publishers and news agencies to further support journalism in France, building on many years of investment,"
Google agreed to pay $76 million over three years to a group of 121 French news publishers to end the copyright row, according to documents seen https://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-france-copyright-exclusive-idUSKBN2AC27N early last year by Reuters.

Are Alphabet and Tesla No-Brainer Stock-Split Stocks to Buy Right Now?
By: Motley Fool | June 18, 2022
• The upcoming stock splits aren't the main reasons to consider these giants.
Among mega-cap stocks with market caps of $200 billion or more, only one has a higher share price than Alphabet (GOOG 1.15%) (GOOGL 1.05%) and Tesla (TSLA 1.72%). And investors have a much less expensive alternative to that stock -- Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares -- by purchasing the company's class B shares.
But Alphabet and Tesla won't be so highly priced for much longer. Alphabet plans to conduct a 20-for-1 stock split on July 15, 2022. Tesla wants its shareholders to approve a 3-for-1 stock split at its annual meeting in August. Are Alphabet and Tesla no-brainer stock-split stocks to buy right now?
Running with the bulls
To be sure, stock splits don't offer magic formulas for companies to turbocharge their stock performance. As a case in point, Amazon's share price has fallen by a double-digit percentage since its 20-for-1 stock split a few weeks ago.
However, many investors still eagerly await the upcoming stock splits for Alphabet and Tesla. There's a real possibility that these splits could ignite retail investors' interest in the two stocks. More importantly, though, investors have some pretty good reasons to consider Alphabet and Tesla even if they didn't have stock splits on the way.
Alphabet is more attractively valued than it's been in years based on its earnings multiple. The company remains an advertising juggernaut with its Google apps, YouTube, and more. The tremendous growth potential for Google Cloud arguably makes Alphabet even cheaper than it looks at first glance.
Meanwhile, Tesla continues to be the prime disruptor in the auto market. The company's supply chain and vertical integration arguably give it key competitive advantages over rivals. Tesla's revenue soared 87% year over year in the first quarter, with regulatory credits making up only a small percentage of the total.
Playing devil's advocate
If we were to play devil's advocate, though, there are two key reasons why investors might want to avoid Alphabet and Tesla. And they're the same reasons for both stocks.
First, Alphabet and Tesla are susceptible to macroeconomic headwinds. Investors who are afraid that a recession is on the way probably won't be gung-ho to buy these stocks, even when their shares are priced much lower after their stock splits.
Factors such as rising interest rates and high inflation will also hurt both companies' underlying businesses. Advertisers are likely to cut back spending if consumers tighten their purse strings. Potential car buyers could also delay purchasing new cars -- even with the increased appeal of electric vehicles in the midst of sky-high gas prices.
Second, both Alphabet and Tesla face increasing competition. Although the companies stand atop their respective markets now, that won't necessarily be the case in the future.
TikTok has emerged as a major rival for Alphabet's YouTube. Google Cloud has formidable competition from Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's Azure. Tesla's market leadership could also be threatened. Other automakers are elbowing their way into the electric vehicle market.
Brain power required
The mere fact that there are legitimate reasons to stay away from Alphabet and Tesla means that they're not no-brainer stocks to buy right now. Brain power is definitely required to analyze the pros and cons of each stock.
In my opinion, Tesla faces more uncertainties than Alphabet does. I suspect that Tesla could take a harder hit financially from macroeconomic headwinds than Alphabet will. I also think that Alphabet is in a better position to fend off rivals than Tesla is.
Alphabet is taking the threat presented by TikTok seriously. Its YouTube Shorts is already averaging more than 30 billion daily views, more than four times greater than a year ago. Tesla faces multiple rivals that could compete effectively on both cost and quality.
The valuations of the two stocks are also different. As mentioned earlier, Alphabet's shares trade at a historically low earnings multiple. Meanwhile, Tesla stock trades at nearly 59 times expected earnings. Yes, Tesla should have a much higher growth potential. But even factoring in growth prospects, Alphabet looks a lot cheaper.
I think that Tesla could continue to be a big winner over the next decade. However, I believe that Alphabet almost certainly will be a big winner.

Google Stock: Is It A Buy Now?
Meanwhile, Google's Relative Strength Rating is only 38 out of a best possible 99, according to IBD Stock Checkup. The best stocks tend to have an RS rating of 80 or better.
Google stock owns an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of E. That rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading.
The rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.

Exclusive-Google offers to let ad rivals place YouTube ads in EU antitrust probe – sources
By: Reuters | June 13, 2022
• Google parent Alphabet has offered to let rival ad intermediaries place advertisements on YouTube to address a crucial part of an EU antitrust investigation, people familiar with the matter said.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Google parent Alphabet has offered to let rival ad intermediaries place ads on YouTube to address a crucial part of an EU antitrust investigation that could pave the way for it to settle the case without a fine, people familiar with the matter said.
The European Commission opened a probe last year to examine whether the world’s largest provider of search and video was giving itself an unfair advantage in digital advertising by restricting rivals’ and advertisers’ access to user data.
The EU competition watchdog singled out Google’s requirement that advertisers use its Ad Manager to display ads on YouTube and potential restrictions on the way in which rivals serve ads on YouTube.
It is also looking into Google’s requirement that advertisers use its services Display & Video 360 and Google Ads to buy YouTube ads. YouTube posted $6.9 billion in sales in the first quarter of this year.
The Commission and Google, which has previously said publishers and advertisers often use multiple technologies and platforms to sell ads, declined to comment.
Google has been discussing remedies with the Commission since last year in a bid to avert a fine that could reach 10% of its global turnover, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters last year.
The company will however need to offer more than just the YouTube remedy to address other concerns in order to get a deal, the people said, adding that talks seemed to be on the right track.
The British competition agency CMA is also investigating Google’s ad practices.
Last year, Google generated $147 billion in revenue from online ads, more than any other company in the world, with ads including search, YouTube and Gmail accounting for the bulk of its overall sales and profit.
The company’s display or network business, in which other media companies use Google technology to sell ads on their website and apps, accounted for about 16% of its revenue.

Alphabet Make Goldman's Stable Growth List
By: TheStreet | June 7, 2022
• If you want "quality" themes in this environment, 'we recommend owning stocks with stable growth,' Goldman says.
Stocks are stumbling as economic growth slows and the Federal Reserve tightens financial conditions. The S&P 500 has dropped 13% this year.
So what’s an investor to do?
“For investors seeking to own ‘quality’ themes in a decelerating growth and tightening financial conditions environment, we recommend owning stocks with stable growth,” Goldman Sachs strategists wrote in a commentary.
“Stable growth stocks and minimum volatility strategies typically outperform as economic growth slows and financial conditions tighten, and carry undemanding valuations.”
Minimum volatility stocks, as measured by the Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV), have outperformed the S&P 500 by 6 percentage points year to date.
And Goldman’s Stable Growth basket of stocks has outperformed by 2 percentage points, “more clearly reflecting investor concern about recession and financial conditions risk than the strong-weak balance sheet pair,” the strategists said.
Goldman’s Stable Growth basket includes:
· Comcast (CMCSA), the media/telecommunications giant;
· Alphabet (GOOGL), the search and advertising stalwart;
· Domino’s Pizza (DPZ), the pizzeria chain;
· Home Depot (HD), the home improvement titan;
· PepsiCo (PEP), the food and beverage behemoth;
· Marsh & McLennan (MMC), the professional services firm;
· Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), the healthcare products giant;
· Oracle (ORCL), the software titan;
· Cisco Systems (CSCO), the network technology major; and
· Visa, the credit card behemoth.
* * *
...and on Alphabet
Morningstar analyst Ali Mogharabi gives the company a wide moat and puts fair value for the stock at $3,600. It recently traded at $2,342, about 54% below that valuation.
“Alphabet dominates the online search market, with Google’s global share above 80%,” he wrote in an April 8 commentary. That enables it to “generate strong revenue growth and cash flow,” he said.
“We expect continuing growth in the firm’s cash flow, as we remain confident that Google will maintain its leadership in the search market.” Meanwhile, YouTube will account for more of Alphabet’s revenue and profit, Mogharabi said.
“And we view investments of some of that cash in moonshots as attractive. Whether they will generate positive returns remains to be seen, but they do present significant upside.”

Alphabet’s Waymo, Uber Freight in deal for future self-driving trucks
By: Reuters | June 7, 2022
• By Tina Bellon (Reuters) – Waymo Via, the self-driving trucking unit of Alphabet Inc, and Uber Technology Inc’s Freight business on Tuesday said they signed a long-term strategic partnership that would allow future customers to deploy autonomous trucks more efficiently.
(Reuters) – Waymo Via, the self-driving trucking unit of Alphabet Inc, and Uber Technology Inc’s Freight business on Tuesday said they signed a long-term strategic partnership that would allow future customers to deploy autonomous trucks more efficiently.
The companies did not share a timeline for when their partnership could be used by paying customers, and Waymo and Uber Freight declined to disclose financial details of the agreement.
Under the partnership, future Waymo customers can use Uber Freight to more efficiently plan their automated and human-driven trucking fleets.
Uber Freight’s software acts as a middle man connecting truckers with shippers to reduce shipping costs and expensive empty cargo miles. Uber last year made a stronger push into the trucking market by buying logistics company Transplace for $2.25 billion.
The partnership marks the latest in a series of company tie-ups in the autonomous trucking space as technology companies race to commercialize their products.
Companies including Waymo, TuSimple Holdings Inc, Aurora Innovation Inc and others hope to sell self-driving trucking services to logistics companies and large retailers in coming years. Under those business models, customers would purchase and own the self-driving trucks and pay a per-mile usage fee to the tech companies.
Uber at the end of 2020 sold its own self-driving unit to Waymo-competitor Aurora and holds a nearly 43% stake in the company. Aurora in December said it partnered with Uber Freight.
Waymo said it plans to launch its first fully driverless trucks “in the next few years,” beginning on the Texas I-45 between Dallas and Houston.

Google settles Photos facial recognition lawsuit for $100 million
By: Engadget | June 6, 2022
Facebook isn't the only one compensating Illinois residents over alleged privacy violations. The Verge notes Google has agreed to pay $100 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing the company of violating Illinois' Biometric Information Protection Act (BIPA) through Photos' "Face Grouping" feature. The settlement will let you claim between $200 and $400 if you appeared in a picture on Photos between May 1st, 2015 and April 25th, 2022.
Google supposedly broke the law by collecting and analyzing faces without appropriate notice, asking for "informed" consent or sharing data retention policies with the public. Face Grouping is meant to help you find photos of given people by detecting faces and automatically organizing them into collections.
You have until September 24th to submit a claim, and can object to the settlement terms before August 10th. The final approval hearing is slated for September 28th.
We've asked Google for comment. In a statement to The Verge, the company defended Face Grouping by stressing that collections were only visible to you and can be disabled.
The settlement is relatively modest. In 2021, Facebook agreed to pay $650 million to settle a lawsuit over its defunct face-based Tag Suggestions feature. This might not be the last big payout in the near future, though. Snap is dealing with a class action suit over purportedly illegal collection of face and voice data for its augmented reality effects, and it might face a similar expense if the plaintiffs prevail.

Alphabet Gains With its Own Stock Split a Little Over a Month Away
By: Investing.com | June 6, 2022
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares are trading 3.6% higher Monday in anticipation of its own stock split after fellow tech titan Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) 20-for-1 stock split took effect Monday.
While a stock split changes nothing fundamentally, the move by Amazon and now Alphabet is expected to encourage new investors while rewarding shareholders, giving them 19 new shares for every one they owned.
Amazon is currently trading around the $128 mark after a move higher following the split. Shares closed at $2447 on Friday, or $122.35 post-split.
Alphabet declared a 20-for-1 stock split back in February and shareholders approved the plan at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 1, 2022.
Under the Alphabet plan, stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2022, will receive, after the close of business on July 15, 2022, 19 additional shares of the same class of stock for every share held by such stockholder as of the Record Date. Shares are expected to start trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 18, 2022.
Despite the stock split news, shares of Google are down 18% on the year amid the sell-off in growth stocks as inflation and higher interest rates weigh on multiples.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is another tech powerhouse set for a stock split after announcing in March that it was planning a split later in the year.

Google 'private browsing' mode not really private, Texas lawsuit says
By: Reuters | May 19, 2022
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Google search engine collects data on users who think they can be anonymous if they use a "private browsing" mode, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed on Thursday, filing an amended privacy lawsuit against the Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc unit.
Texas, Indiana, Washington State and the District of Columbia filed separate suits against Google in January in state courts over what they called deceptive location-tracking practices that invade users’ privacy.
Paxton's filing adds Google’s Incognito mode to the lawsuit filed in January. Incognito mode or “private browsing” is a web browser function that Paxton said implies Google will not track search history or location activity.
The lawsuit said Google offers the option of "private browsing" that could include "viewing highly personal websites that might indicate, for example, their medical history, political persuasion, or sexual orientation. Or maybe they simply want to buy a surprise gift without the gift recipient being tipped off by a barrage of targeted ads."
The suit said "in reality, Google deceptively collects an array of personal data even when a user has engaged Incognito mode."
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In January, the company said the "attorneys general are bringing a case based on inaccurate claims and outdated assertions about our settings. We have always built privacy features into our products and provided robust controls for location data."
Paxton previously alleged Google misled consumers by continuing to track their location even when users sought to prevent it.
Google has a "Location History" setting and informs users if they turn it off "the places you go are no longer stored," Texas said.
In January an Arizona judge ruled allegations Google deceived users with unclear smartphone location tracking settings should be weighed by a jury, refusing to toss out a lawsuit brought by the state's attorney general.

Google's Russian subsidiary files for bankruptcy
By: Reuters | May 18, 2022
The Russian subsidiary of Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google has filed for insolvency, according to a message posted on Russia's official registry Fedresurs on Wednesday.
The subsidiary was "submitting a notice of the intention to declare itself insolvent (bankrupt)", the note said.
"Since March 22, 2022, it foresees its own bankruptcy and inability to fulfil its monetary obligations, demands to pay severance payments and (or) the remuneration of staff working or previously working under an employment contract, and (or) the obligation to make mandatory payments within the prescribed period," the note said.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. David Sneddon, who the document named as the subsidiary's general director, could not immediately be reached.
Russia on Tuesday said it was not planning to block Alphabet's YouTube, in spite of repeated threats and fines, acknowledging that such a move would likely see Russian users suffer and should therefore be avoided. read more
Rostelecom (RTKM.MM) Chief Executive Mikhail Oseevskiy on Wednesday said Google was operating as normal in the country, including all its servers, the TASS news agency reported.
It was not immediately clear if fines imposed against Google, which include a 7.2-billion-rouble ($113 million)charge in December for what Moscow said was a repeated failure to delete content Russia deems illegal, were to blame for the declaration of insolvency.

In the first quarter, Alphabet’s revenue rose 23% year-over-year, boosted by advertising and cloud services.
But YouTube experienced a deceleration in ad revenue growth.
Still, while management expects YouTube’s revenue slowdown to continue this quarter, it could accelerate in the fourth quarter, Mogharabi said.

Google teases smart glasses prototype that translates languages in real time
By: CNBC | May 11, 2022
• Google CEO Sundar Pichai teased a smart glasses prototype the company is working on that can translate languages in real time.
• During the company’s I/O conference, Pichai showed a demo of augmented reality glasses that “take its developments and transcriptions” and deliver them in the user’s line of sight.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday teased a pair of smart glasses capable of translating languages in real time.
Pichai showed a video demo of the glasses during Google’s I/O developer summit. While they’re still just a prototype, Google suggested the glasses can show live language translations to the person wearing them.
So, someone with the augmented reality glasses might be able to understand what another person is saying just by reading captions that are presented through the lenses while the other person speaks.
It’s unclear if Google’s glasses will ever hit the market, but the prototype provides a sense of where Google thinks augmented reality can be helpful.
The company first ventured into smart glasses roughly a decade ago, but Google Glass was unappealing to most consumers due to a limited launch, high initial pricing and privacy concerns. Google, though, has appeared to keep pushing into the space. In 2020, it acquired North, which was an Amazon-backed company that made smart glasses.
Google also introduced its first smartwatch, the Pixel 6a and Pixel 7 phones and teased a new Android tablet during its event.
