GOP Lawmaker Defends Google Amid Antitrust Trial: 'Penalize Them For Trying To Be Good Business? That's Insane'
The antitrust trial against Google by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) has started, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has shown his support for the tech giant.
Alphabet Inc.(纳斯达克股票代码:GOOG)(纳斯达克股票代码:GOOG)对谷歌的反垄断审判已经开始,参议员兰德·保罗(R-Ky。)表示支持这家科技巨头。
What Happened: Paul described U.S. antitrust policies as being "misused and abused" and defended Google's business strategies, such as linking their search engine to computer and phone sellers, during CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday.
发生了什么:保罗在周二的CNBC的 “Squawk Box” 上将美国的反垄断政策描述为 “被滥用和滥用”,并为谷歌的商业战略辩护,例如将其搜索引擎与计算机和手机卖家联系起来。
"We are going to penalize them for trying to be good business? That's insane. And the government should have no role in preventing people from trying to increase their business," Paul said.
“我们会因为他们试图做个好生意而惩罚他们?太疯狂了。而且,政府不应在阻止人们试图增加业务方面发挥任何作用,” 保罗说。
Why It Matters: The U.S. Department of Justice has accused Google of running a massive ad tech monopoly, stifling competition, and inflating costs for publishers and advertisers. Google has denied these allegations, claiming to offer a superior product in a competitive market. The trial is expected to last several weeks, with U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema making the final decision.
为何重要:美国司法部指责谷歌垄断了广告技术,扼杀了竞争,并抬高了出版商和广告商的成本。谷歌否认了这些指控,声称在竞争激烈的市场中提供了优质的产品。审判预计将持续数周,美国地方法院法官莱昂妮·布林克玛将做出最终决定。
Price Action: On Tuesday morning hours, Alphabet's Class A stock GOOGL was trading around 0.91% while its Class C stock GOOG was trading 1.16% higher, as per Benzinga Pro.
