The big story surrounding Google is the fake ads from Russian bots that ran across various Google platforms during the 2016 US election. Google has discovered less than $100,000 worth of ads so far. Kent Walker, Google's general counsel, will testify before Congress with representatives from Facebook and Twitter regarding Russian abuse on their platforms on November 1.
Despite the fake news problems and Russian ad abuse, Alphabet's stock has been performing well. It hit an all-time high of $1,016 last week.
