Τα σχόλια του Sundar Pichai για τη attitude of Google appear in a transcript provided to a judiciary committee looking into how Google collects and filters data.
The document emphasizes that Google continues to work with the government to keep the United States safe.
“Protecting the privacy and security of our users has long been a core part of it Missionus", reports Pichai (PDF).
"I run this company without political bias and I work to ensure that our products continue to work that way."
"Doing something different would be contrary to our basic principles and our business interests. We are a company that provides platforms for different perspectives and opinions. ”
Sundar Pichai will have to answer his questions House majority leader and Republican Kevin McCarthy, who blamed Google for providing search results that were biased against Democrats.
"Google has created some of the most powerful and impressive technology applications. The company now accounts for almost 90% of the global search traffic. "Google therefore has a strong influence on what millions of people on the Internet may or may not find." said McCarthy.
"Unfortunately, recent reports suggest that Google may not be exercising its enormous power impartially; its business practices may have been influenced by various political biases."
Human Rights Watch also published an open letter to Sundar Pichai urging Google to abandon its alleged plans to create a censored search engine (Project Dragonfly) in China.
The group supported the hundreds of Googlers who signed a petition opposing Project Dragonfly and the planned restitution of the company in China's search market.
“Her facility access of the Chinese authorities on personal data, as described in media reports, would be particularly reckless,” the letter states.
"If put into action, there is a real risk that Google will directly assist the Chinese government in arresting or imprisoning people who simply want to express their opinions online."
