<p>Alphabet 的股票在周四下跌近 2%，超过了标准普尔 500 指数 0.6% 的跌幅，此前有报道称消费者金融保护局（CFPB）可能会将谷歌置于联邦监管之下。这将涉及类似于银行业的定期检查和监督。报告的时机引发了质疑，尤其是在唐纳德·特朗普最近当选后，他反对过度监管。Alphabet 和 CFPB 均拒绝置评，这表明如果报告属实，可能会面临法律挑战</p>

<p>A report from a top news outlet put a damper on Google parent <strong>Alphabet</strong>'s (GOOG -1.74%) (GOOGL -1.85%) stock on the second-to-last trading day of the week. Both of the company's listed stocks took a slight dive as a result, declining by nearly 2%. That was a steeper fall than the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong>'s 0.6% slide.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>有趣的时机</h2>
</div><p>The timing of the article is curious, coming as it does soon after the election of Donald Trump -- who's no fan of what he believes to be excessive government regulation. Right-wing critics have accused tech giants of political bias; specifically, Google was alleged to have presented search results skewed in favor of Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in the run-up to the election, among other accusations.</p>

</div><p>It's conceivable that this is a deliberate leak designed to curry favor with an incoming administration that's not otherwise enamored of agencies like the CFPB. Regardless, if the report is accurate, we can expect a bruising battle between the agency and the legal team marshaled by Alphabet.</p>
