'Now seems to be an especially opportune time to Sell Twitter,' says MoffettNathanson
MoffettNathanson analysts reiterated their sell rating on Twitter, calling it an opportune time to do so. Looking ahead into the second half of 2019, the firm anticipates slowing revenue growth, as well as rising expense growth. It is also skeptical that a +20% increase in expenses in 2019 will be enough to address safety & security issues, compared to what other big tech companies such as Facebook are spending to tackle these problems.

Google Faces Antitrust Regulations — And for Good Reason
There's an old saying that if you don't control your medium someone else will, and they won't have your interests at heart. That's no more true than in the case of Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, which has taken the media's business model for the Internet and now faces blowback.Source: Shutterstock That blowback includes calls to break the company up. Google's response is to reorganize its Washington lobbying shop, one of the largest in town, under new head of public policy Karan Bhatia, a former Bush Administration official.But Bhatia will have to look hard to find friends in the media industry. Most of that industry lies in pieces at Google's feet.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Links as TheftThe low monetary value of Internet media properties is underscored by news that TheStreet.Com, one of the early financial news sites, brought just $33 million in a sale to Maven (NASDAQ:MVEN), a small digital publishing company. Even that price represented more than twice Maven's market cap. (Full disclosure. I worked for TheStreet for a few years earlier in this decade.)The control of digital advertising by Google -- and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Twitter (NASDAQ:TWTR) -- has Reuters asking if news has any economic value.Maybe not, but it does have political value.Consider a recent New York Times piece on the subject. It's based on a "study" from the New Media Alliance (formerly the Newspaper Association of America). The study claims Google made $4.7 billion last year from news content that it did not produce. The U.S. news industry as a whole brought in just $5.8 billion from digital ads on content it did produce.It's worth noting that the $4.7 billion figure is based on extrapolating from a 2008 since exact figures are not available.Politically, the study seems aimed at bringing the European concept of a "link tax" to the U.S. It's aimed at making Internet platforms pay for links to news content. Google argues such a tax would cut traffic to news sites, because their response would be to stop linking or shut down Google News in Europe altogether. Show Me the MoneyAbsent ad revenue, most newspapers have put up paywalls, allowing only subscribers to see their product.The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) has tripled its stock value in five years, it says, because of its paywall. But only a few national newspapers, including The Washington Post (owned by Amazon's (NADSAQ:AMZN) Jeff Bezos) and The Wall Street Journal, have made money on paywalls, which cut market reach substantially. Many smaller market papers now run with a skeleton staff.The result, for Google, is that its News product has become less useful even as it has been expanded. Its links lead regular readers to paywalls.More important, the enmity of major journalism organizations, both TV and print, plays into the hands of the Department of Justice -- at least in this area. The DOJ is busy creating new interpretations of antitrust law to apply to the digital age. The Bottom LineSince the antitrust issue began blowing up a few months ago Facebook stock is down 10% and Alphabet is down 17%, trading early on June 12 at $1,076 per share.There are analysts claiming Google would, like Standard Oil over a century ago, benefit from a breakup. But I find that claim is dubious.However, Google's refusal to play ball -- or in the case of a link tax, refusal to give the ball players a cut of the tickets they sold to their game -- doesn't bode well for future regulation. * 10 Stocks to Buy That Wall Street Expects to Soar for the Rest of 2019 Someone will pay the price of this. Whether it will be Google or the news media and the people who depend on it for information remains to be seen. In a time when the president routinely refers to the press as "the enemy of the people," the effects of the fight could be even worse than lost shareholder value.Dana Blankenhorn is a financial and technology journalist.

Twitter stock defended at Loop Capital due to new ad formats, 2020 events
Loop Capital analyst Alan Gould reiterated his upbeat view of Twitter Inc. shares on Friday, a day after the stock dropped on concerns about second-half comparisons and spending plans. "We do not view 2H comps as difficult or expectations aggressive," Gould wrote. "We think user growth headwinds from health initiatives are softening as Twitter makes progress in identifying and deactivating suspicious accounts." He said that improved platform health can be a "growth driver" for Twitter, while the company faces several intriguing "engagement drivers" next year, including the U.S. presidential election and the Olympics in Tokyo. "While we think Twitter is not particularly event-dependent, we cannot ignore the 2020 calendar," Gould wrote. He's also upbeat about direct-response advertising, which could improve Twitter's monetization strategy given that the ad format is a small part of revenue, especially relative to peers. Twitter shares are near flat in Friday trading. They've gained 26% so far this year, as the S&P 500 has risen 15%.

Hong Kong risks losing trade privileges under proposed US law
Senior US lawmakers have introduced legislation aimed at pressuring Hong Kong to shelve an extradition bill that critics say would further erode the autonomy that the former British colony was guaranteed on its handover to mainland China. The move, which increases pressure on the territory’s government to suspend the bill, came as a senior adviser to Hong Kong’s leader, Carrie Lam, suggested the bill could be delayed and activists in the territory called for another mass demonstration on Sunday. Members of the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China — led by Democratic congressman Jim McGovern and Republican senator Marco Rubio — introduced a measure that would require the US secretary of state to certify every year that Hong Kong remains autonomous from mainland China.

EU election suffered Russian disinformation, Brussels finds
Russian sources mounted a “continued and sustained” disinformation effort to “suppress turnout and influence voter preferences” at last month’s EU parliament elections, an initial review by Brussels has concluded. Social media companies fell short in their efforts to tackle the malicious activity despite improvements in some areas, the analysis found, warning that they risked regulation if they failed to do better. The document, due to be published on Friday, does not draw conclusions about who was behind the disinformation or how it was co-ordinated.

Unhappy with Twitter, thousands of Saudis join pro-Trump social network Parler
A surge of about 200,000 users believed to be from Saudi Arabia who are frustrated at what they say is censorship by Twitter have helped crash the small social media network Parler, which styles itself as a "free speech-driven" space. The unexpected arrival of the new accounts since Sunday more than doubled the total number of Parler users and crippled some functions, CEO and co-founder John Matze told Reuters. The influx of users has created unusual bedfellows on Parler, which has mostly been a home for supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump after starting up a year ago.
