Google CEO Sundar Pichai defended the search giant against criticism on political bias, its data collection policies and efforts in China during a high-profile hearing on Tuesday.
The leader of the world's largest search engine took the stand before the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, DC. The discussion was wide-ranging, but for the Republican-led House, the big topic of discussion was alleged bias against conservatives on Google's platforms, such as its search results and its YouTube video-sharing service.
"I lead this company without political bias and work to ensure that our products continue to operate that way," Pichai said in prepared testimony. "To do otherwise would go against our core principles and our business interests. We are a company that provides platforms for diverse perspectives and opinions -- and we have no shortage of them among our own employees."
