Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and parent Alphabet, at the World Economic Forum in Davos spoke out about data privacy and antitrust concerns, saying 'privacy is at the heart of what we do' and the tech giant doesn't pursue scale for scale's sake.
"Privacy is at the heart of what we do," Sundar Pichai tells the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He also argued the tech giant doesn't pursue scale for scale's sake.
"For us, privacy is at the heart of what we do," Pichai said. "Users come to Google at very important moments, ask us questions, we deal with people’s sensitive information in Gmail, Google Photos and so on, and so we have to earn their trust. Today we do it by giving them control and transparency and choice around it."
He also emphasized that "privacy can not be a luxury good," adding: "We need to make sure we [serve] up services in a way that works for everyone, but puts them first and is privacy-enhancing.”
