4 Big Tech Companies Are to Turn Over Internal Emails

四家大型科技公司被要求上交公司内部电子邮件

The request is by a U.S. Congressional committee that is investigating anti-competitive behavior.

这一要求是由美国国会一个正在调查反竞争行为的委员会提出的。

CEOs of Amazon, Apple , Facebook , and Google were asked to share all communications among themselves, financial statements, information about competitors, along with other significant data.

该委员会要求亚马逊(Amazon)、苹果(Apple)、Facebook和谷歌(Google)的首席执行官提供他们之间的所有通信、各自公司的财务报表、竞争对手的信息以及其他重要数据等信息。

The request comes as the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission and the attorneys general of a number of states are ramping up investigations into tech companies. The House committee isn’t subpoenaing the records—yet. And the tech giants involved are likely to push back on the request.

目前美国司法部(Justice Department)、联邦贸易委员会(Federal Trade Commission)和美国一些州的检察长正在加大对科技公司的调查力度。上述国会委员会目前还没有对这些公司发出传票，预计这些科技巨头将对该委员会的这一要求提出反对。

Adam Neumann Was Set to Get 20 Votes-Per-Share of Stock

亚当·诺依曼原本将通过WeWork的IPO获得每股20票的投票权

—in WeWork’s IPO. Neumann is the founder and CEO of WeWork’s parent company, We.

亚当·诺依曼(Adam Neumann)是WeWork母公司We的创始人兼首席执行官。

However, that outsize control has been cut in half. According to a regulatory filing, Neumann will now get 10 votes for each share of stock he owns.

然而这一投票权过大，现在已经被削减至一半。监管文件显示，诺依曼现在每持有1股WeWork的股票将获得10票的投票权。

The reduction might be a way to drum up demand ahead of WeWork’s IPO. The date has yet to be set—but as early as this week, the company’s executives and their bankers will start courting public market investors. They had been balking at both the company’s rich valuation—as well as Neumann’s tight control of the company.

减少票数可能是在WeWork进行IPO之前提振需求的一种方式。虽然IPO日期尚未确定，但该公司高管和处理IPO事宜的银行最早将于本周开始向公开市场投资者进行推介。WeWork的高估值和诺依曼对公司的严格控制一直令投资者望而却步。
