Sundar's comments Pichai για τη στάση της Google εμφανίζονται σε ένα αντίγραφο που παραδόθηκε σε μια επιτροπή δικαστικών αρχών που εξετάζει πώς η Google συλλέγει και φιλτράρει 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."
“To do otherwise would be against our core principles and 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.
“Η Google δημιούργησε μερικές από τις ισχυρότερες και εντυπωσιακές τεχνολογικές εφαρμογές.Η εταιρεία σήμερα αντιπροσωπεύει σχεδόν το 90% της παγκόσμιας κίνησης της αναζήτησης. Η Google έχει επομένως μεγάλη επιρροή σε αυτά που μπορούν να βρουν ή να μην βρουν εκατομμύρια άνθρωποι στο Internet", 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 team backed hundreds of Google employees who signed a petition opposing Project Dragonfly and the company's planned return to the Chinese search market.
"Facilitating the Chinese authorities' access to personal data, as described in media reports, would be highly reckless," the letter said.
"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."
