| Google CEO Sundar Pichai testifies in a House Judiciary Commitee |
Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified before the US Congress in a House Judiciary Committee session on 11th of December. The lawmakers who have made it a habit of using tech ceos as their personal tech assistants.
The hearing was full of silly moments, and was termed a waste of time by one of the law makers.
Steve King, embarrassed himself by questioning the executive on why his granddaughter's iPhone displayed unflattering words and criticisms about the lawmaker's remarks (which have led to many calling him a racist, homophobic, and misogynist.) in the process, he stated - “I have a seven-year-old granddaughter who picked up her phone during the election, and she’s playing a little game, the kind of game a kid would play,” King told Pichai. “And up on there pops a picture of her grandfather. And I’m not going to say into the record what kind of language was used around that picture of her grandfather, but I’d ask you: how does that show up on a seven-year-old’s iPhone, who’s playing a kid’s game?”
Pichai, hesitated a bit, before answering "Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company, and so, you know... I mean...."
This is oddly reminiscent of a certain Facebook CEO's testimony back in January....
