Google CEO Pichai explains to Congress that Google does not make iPhones

First, this exchange came with Rep. Steve King on why he sees unwelcome news on his iPhone.

* I have a 7 year old grandson who picked up the phone during the election and she plays a small game what type of game a child would play. And up there pops a picture of his grandfather. And I will not say to the mail what kind of language was used around her grandfather's picture, but I ask you: How does a 7-year-old iPhone play a child's game?

Pichai seemed to cheer a little before composing himself and informing Congress members that Google did not make iPhone. It is unclear from the exchange, but the unwanted content King talks about may be many news bits that outlined their former racist tirades and ties with white nationalist groups.

Congressman Ted Lieu later gave preparation to King.

So I'm going to search for "# ~" King Steve King. & # 39; I'm going to hit the & # 39; News & # 39; tab. The first article that appears is from ABC News. It says that "Steve Kings racist immigration chat calls for congressional censorship requests. It's a negative article. But you do not have a group at Google there and think and try to change your search results every time Steve King comes up. That's not what's going on not true?

Pichai confirmed that it was not and said that Google did not manipulate search results.

Place continued:

So let me conclude by saying it obvious. If you want positive search results, do you positive things. If you do not want negative search results, do not do negative things.

And to some of my colleagues at a time, if you do not get bad press releases and bad search results do not blame Google, or Facebook, or Twitter ̵[ads1]1; consider yourself.

19659002] Lieu, better than many of his colleagues, seem to understand the problem. Conservatives have for years cried, believing that tech giants like Google, Facebook and Twitter clarified conservative voices and surpassed only negative content. I'm discussing Google's actual bias here, if you're interested.

But while Lieu seems to get it, it does not make a shocking number of politicians. And there is cause for concern for all who pay attention when these hearings unfold.
