友信全球财讯 | 谷歌正面临美国30多个州的大规模反垄断调查
友信资讯 09-04 19:30

摘要:据报道,美国国内超过一半的州检察长正在准备对谷歌进行反垄断调查。关于宣布对谷歌进行调查的新闻发布会预计将于9月9日下周一举行。

据华盛顿邮报周二报道,超过一半的美国州检察长正在准备对谷歌进行反垄断调查。这似乎是继Facebook之后又一个探讨硅谷最大公司之一是否已经过于主导市场的调查。宣布对谷歌进行调查的新闻发布会预计将于9月9日举行,但其消息人士表示日期可能会有所变化。

该报告还表示,目前尚不清楚总检察长是否计划向Facebook、亚马逊和苹果等其他科技巨头展开反垄断调查,或者谷歌是该集团目前唯一的目标公司。根据华盛顿邮报的说法,总检察长可能会专门研究谷歌对个人用户数据的处理,以及多个州检察长所说的搜索引擎算法可能会以损害竞争的方式使用。

今年夏天早些时候,“华尔街日报”报道,司法部(DOJ)[与联邦贸易委员会(FTC)一起有权进行反托拉斯调查的联邦机构之一]计划对谷歌在搜索及其他业务方面进行调查。目前尚未确认该调查是否已正式启动。据报道,类似的反托拉斯调查计划针对Facebook、苹果和亚马逊提起诉讼,目前Facebook是唯一yi家确认FTC正在调查其业务的公司。

7月下旬,美国司法部表示将对搜索、社交媒体和电子商务的顶级“在线平台”进行大范围审查,以确定它们是否在扼杀竞争和创新。美国司法部没有指明任何特定的公司进行审查,但毫无疑问,像Alphabet、Facebook和亚马逊这样的大公司都会受到该机构的审查。根据华盛顿邮报周二的报道,一些州的律师今年夏天会见了司法部官员,以解决他们的反托拉斯问题。尽管如此,目前尚不清楚司法部长对谷歌的潜在调查是否与司法部本身的调查存在不同。

谷歌发言人Jose Castaneda周二表示,谷歌的服务为消费者创造更多选择,并且支持全国数千个就业机会和小企业。谷歌将继续与监管机构(包括总检察长)开展建设性合作,积极回答关于业务和动态技术部门的问题。

随着州政府和联邦监管机构的调查迫在眉睫,谷歌的问题继2013年后仍然存在。没有任何公司比2013年谷歌在搜索和智能手机业务的反垄断调查还要多。当时谷歌成功脱离了困境,没有受到任何经济处罚,只做出改变某些商业行为的模糊承诺,这一结果被许多评论家嘲为“手腕上的一记耳光”。
