Technology Stocks : Alphabet Inc. (Google) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

It's good to be out of Google. I could ignore the past 60 posts during the trading day, not one of which had to do directly with the stock.

My question: Can multinational advertisers buy AdWords for Google.cn based on the search request, not the search that gets filtered to cause the Google search results? Can Google.cn keep track of the original unfiltered request? Of course.

There is a difference, Brian, between (a) what causes search results or some search results to be inaccessible to customers within a country, and (b) giving out to anyone the proprietary "crown jewels" or a part of or a hint of those CJ, in the form of the internal methodology or retrievability of a database.

One is from Google to the customers, the other is from the customers to Google, and includes an implicit agreement on how that information will be used (knowing that almost all PP include except as required by law). China objected to (b) as I read it. Except as required means "required" not except as "requested" by law.
