The major US technology platforms, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook, face an evolving set of legal, regulatory, and policy risks. In this session CFRA's experts discussed these issues in greater depth, focusing on the more recent developments since our Part I session in September 2018.
Additionally, CFRA reviewed the strategies you can use to model legal risks for these four dominant technology platforms, updated our high-level view regarding relative risks among the platform players, and explored why future European Commission competition cases against technology platform companies could be more impactful than recent cases brought against Google parent Alphabet, Inc. (GOOGL).
