Google Could Pay Dearly for Catering to China
Eight years after it exited China over censorship and espionage concerns, Alphabet Inc.’s Google appears ready to compromise with the Chinese government in order to return. Last spring, the company reportedly began work on Dragonfly, a search engine customized for the China market that would block keywords such as “human rights” and provide Chinese authorities a means of tracking whoever is daring enough to attempt such searches. This strategy of creating two products — one for China and one for the rest of the world — may seem like a pragmatic way to seize a piece of the world’s largest internet market.

There will soon be a new way to play FANG stocks
Facebook, Netflix and Alphabet, parent of Google, along with media and telecom companies, will become part of a new S&P Dow Jones industry sector for communications services, starting Monday. Analysts do not expect a big market move when the new sector is launched Monday to replace telecom, but the fact some FANG names are in the sector means other components, like media stocks could see more buying interest.
