rainman + 263 August 15, 2018 Brazil’s antitrust watchdog Cade is considering opening an investigation into Google over alleged abuses in its cell phone operating system, the president of the agency said in an interview published on Wednesday in newspaper Valor Economico. The reported comments by Alexandre Barreto come just weeks after European antitrust regulators fined Google a record 4.34 billion euros ($4.91 billion) and ordered it to stop using its popular Android mobile operating system to block rivals. According to the report, Barreto said Cade would decide whether to formally probe the U.S. company, whose parent is Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O), depending on the results of an evaluation that is already underway.

Every government that is basically a failure will come after Google now, and possibly the other FAANGS. Instant cash injection if they win anything at all. That's what's wrong with precedents. On the other hand, this is but one of the reasons that I think the FAANGs will come crashing back down to realistic stock prices. I'm betting on it.
