Italy’s competition authority opened a probe into Google and its parent company Alphabet Inc, alleging unfair commercial practices and incomplete information given to users of its services.
Alphabet's new chairman and director of Knight-Hennessy Scholars at Stanford University has recently added author to his long list of accomplishments. John Hennessy joins BNN Bloomberg's Amanda Lang to chat about his book,"Leading Matters: Lessons from My Journey." He also shares his thoughts on Elon Musk, leadership at Google, and what Canada can learn in developing its own leaders in tech and beyond.
The investigation is focusing on the quality of information provided to users when “linking” to their services, the competition authority said in an emailed statement. It added that it’s unclear to users what effect their consent would have, and how their personal data is being used.
