Washington, DC — (RI) — Iowa 4th District US Congressman Steve King questioned the Google CEO Sundar Pichai Tuesday about alleged politically biased search results.
King asked during a House Judiciary Committee hearing why Google isn’t more transparent about the one-thousand member team which handles search results.
He says the company could face action if it doesn’t provide more information.
The Teddy Roosevelt mention refers to the former president’s “trust busting,” where he broke up large companies with monopolies.
King told the Google CEO that there is “a very strong conviction” by Republicans that the search algorithms are written with a bias against conservatives. King says Democrats don’t agree with that — “because of course it benefits them.”
