@@arthurdaffos1490 "Well informed" "Retard" I dont think these words mean what you think they do. Correcting morons on the internet is truly the most thankless work
Congress: Sudar Pichai: Well, depending on the situation, we have clear established policies that do not account for breaches in our paper-thin security.
That is not what the congress was doing; Pichai was stalling on simple yes or no questions, not any complex questions. (trying to evade saying: "yes, we spy on everyone")
The scenario is different sir. Tech giants are manipulated by state and intelligence departments, in regards to surveillance and national defense or even in political scenarios. Hence all of the layman worries are true in a sense.
Yea i knew he looked familiar the Monopoly man. "Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200". Get out of jail FREE card. Bank error in your favour. Collect $200.
The young people and talents probably wouldn't choose the politics but a company where they can bring in their talent and don't have to discuss and justify their points over and over again. That's what I would do if I would be a talent ~
@texas thunder your hateful attitude marks you as a conservative and explains why conservatives are more often banned from internet activities, because you are but a whisper away from outright unacceptable hate speech.
@texas thunder You do realize Google owns RU-vid right? Maybe take some time from shouting out headlines from right wing conspiracy theory websites and actually spend some time learning about the real world?
@texas thunder 98 percent of what you say is absolute bullshit. It is hilarious listening to representatives from Texas. Then you read comments from users from Texas and you realize, "I get it now".
@texas thunder This is objectively the dumbest thing I have ever read on any comment section. Using Xenophobic bigotry to initiate your wackadoo point doesnt help. Answer me this. Why are the republicans so afraid of net neutrality? Is it because they ALL take bribes from the telecom companies? Clearly you are as dumb and uninformed as these old people trying to understand the INTERWEBZ, You can't prove anything you just stated with any facts.,. Complains about CNN/MSNBC but doesnt mention Fox News and their state run propaganda.
Caveman Products algorithms and code are complicated as fuck but here’s the short version: most young people are either left leaning or in the middle. Young people use google more than anybody else. When they search things on google repeatedly. The thing they clicked on most is what is more likely to come up for others. If all the young people/majority of google users were to lean right it would show more right wing material.
"Does Google know I was sitting here and moved over there?" "Depends on your settings bruh" "ANSWER THE QUESTION PAJEET!!!" This is your brain on boomer.
@Solus Oneightsix: Oh shut up. Age is no guarantee of efficiency. Especially when intoxicated on power and blinded by pure arrogance showing little interest in other fields. I'm lib-conservative not "demographic" which is the wrong term btw.
What's wrong with people here? So much hatred on the guy for no reason! 😂 Google's been basically working the same way since it started! Sure the way they collect data has improved over time. Hey, if you have so much of a problem with Google, try cutting out all of their services from your life and see how it goes. ✌🏼
They're just butthurt that the majority of the world thinks Trump is an idiot, hence the reason why he is shown when on Google images when you search "idiot".
The thing is that they have a sense of camaraderie with trump. There turning into the waste in charge of this society. Seriously they should just put a toddler to do the questions. They would know more than this old fog's.
Lmao.... Low IQ liberals at it again. Google is a monopoly, hence the epic monopoly guy in the background. Your comment is akin to someone saying cut out Walmart if you have a problem with their bad business practices, meanwhile the only stores you can go to besides wal mart are dollar general lol
@@garlicknot887 I never said I hated Trump. Personally, i understand the reasons why he wants to build the wall, I just think he should approach it differently. But my statement is true, it has been researched most countries dislike Trump.
That's setting the bar way too high. They really just need to stop grandstanding for the cameras, pull their heads out of their asses, and talk with some basic sense and honesty. Of course, if they were decent enough people to do this, they'd neither want to be politicians nor would they have any chance of getting elected.
@@Robertedwinhouse38 you have an extremely low IQ, that is how you are dumb. Towing the party line, defending a corporation that is actively trying to make a Chinese server that censors chinese users in order to get paid chinese money. Liberals are useful idiots.... "Hey they hate conservatives like me, Awesome"!!!!!! Censorship has no political preference. It will catch up to you quick though
..... Umm maybe they should hire a young intelligent tech savvy person to ask the questions? Like this is a serious issue that they turned into a joke cuz these 80 year olds don't know anything
But they won't. Why would they risk being prosecuted for a possibly unlawful action, such as tampering with private user data? They're a very successful multi billion dollar company. It is your decision whether to use google provided apps and products or not.
Yes they can. But they wont. There's billions of data that google stored annually it's nearly impossible to tamper all of that data at once and it's just a waste of time and money
I'm happy that the leaders of big tech companies finally to testify in front of Congress, but if these congressmen were just a little educated on the issues or how the company in question even works, this could actually be beneficial.
Comeon man! How can kids of kindergarten digest grilled foods. Too much heavy for them... They should rather try toasted bread that too with lots of butter. 😉😉😉
Congressmen have some class. It's the CEO of one of the the most important companies in the world you're talking to, not some criminal. This whole session sounds childish on your part.
So. Funny thing. Google doesn’t need humans to read human readable text. Most emails are sent using SMTP and packaged as ASCII and can be converted from .eml files to human readable with a simple hexdump. They’re a tech company with some of the best and brightest. So it’s not unlikely that google could create an API to “read” those emails. It’s simple. Just convert the emails, which could be done by hand if you’re risky, create a “get” service to retrieve words from stored emails and communications, and use another service to “get” the advertisements with the proper matching Google AdWords tag and filter the advertisements using the data we provide them like age, sex, location, interests (since we like to link ALL our accounts)...and use a “put” service to place *oddly specific* advertisements in our streams for us to react impulsively. Point number 2. You don’t seriously think that these “smart home” and “smart assistants” don’t listen do you? So they just sit there “deaf” (by programming algorithms that only activate when it understands it’s triggered) until you call their name? People probably hear less about a person unintentionally while walking down the street and another person is on the phone talking loudly. Like seriously. If you believe that the smart devices are not always listening you should be ashamed. That’s like saying the nosiest and most gossipy person you know could sit next to you everywhere you go everyday and not spill the beans on things they consider juicy when they know they could make money off everything they learn about you or at the very least make you like and trust them more by offering you things that they “heard” you like. In the words of Cardi B...”how convenient is that...how f***in convenient is THAT?!” That’s like saying a hypothetical FBI agent investigating you wouldn’t tap your phone, or if the agent is undercover, wouldn’t listen intently on every word you say knowing there could be something that would make the case against you when the agent is being paid to be there. Cmon people. It’s not rocket science. No seriously...it’s not. It’s computer science. Last point. On the “hey if I go sit next to ...does google know” question. Look up Carpenter v. United States, 585 U.S. __ (2018) if you want to know the capabilities of your cell site location information and how it’s used. Not to mention there’s actual gps location your device carries not based on cell site location. These guys aren’t old or dumb. They’re asking appropriate questions. It’s just most Americans are too wols to realize it, and tech CEO’s are too smart to give an actual answer. They’re literally “Tony Stark-ing” (see iron man 1) Congress subcommittees in real life. 😂
@Aarnage Sen well that would be authorized through the PATRIOT Act, which continues to get renewed every time it comes up for some reason. the technology used there under project PRISM and other programs Snowden warned us about for which we called him a traitor. Was he? Was he a traitor for informing us that the government was consistently violating our implied Fourth Amendment right to privacy? The problem is that we do not manifest a reasonable expectation of privacy when we give all our information to third parties such as social media sites (to include DNA to places like 23 and me), which almost eliminates that expectation of privacy because then the information can be compelled through process and procedure. We think we have Excalibur in our hands with technology, but all we are doing is pulling the pin in the grenade and tossing it instead of the grenade. We are not properly trained to understand the capabilities of that which we wield. period.
Assistants might listen you all the time., But they don't send the data/record anything and send them to the server unless there trigger. If you blame Google for this reason, then you should blame every other companies who have assistant, like apple for Siri, Microsoft for Cortana and so and so forth.
Dude, just send your exact methodolgy/process to those congress people and they will see how complex answers to their questions can be lol. Because for 99% of the questions they asked the correct answer is "it depends". Because it really depends on a lot of factors that would all be in the processes your algorithms are following. I work as a backend and frontend systems developer and this is just how tech works. Users are so used to relatively simple interfaces and interactions with software that they think it works the same under the hood. What they are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. For every simple function they can perform, there are thousands and thousands of lines of code being run by the browser, app and server. So to answer those questions correctly you would need to go through all of the code. This type of questionning format in congress is inadequate for these types of issues and only leads to congress people and the media reporting arriving at the wrong conclusions based on the answers to questions that really discard the complexity of the issue. They are more questions designed to get the person being questioned to admit what congress people have already decided beforehand. And this is reinforced by the fact that they keep cutting him off with a "say yes or no" every time he tries to explain the complexity behind the question. So if I was a congress person and did not know programming or did not have access to the code running Google, I would (or I would appoint a team to) track how the program is behaving over time and see if this is what we expect Google to do, and if not ask that it be modified to better perform as expected, if they legally have the right to ask such a thing or not. That's why, I think, what the congressman pointed out about Google searches showing Daily Caller first when he's actually been on MSNBC four times that weekend, is a good example of how you would check what Google is programmed to do and correct it if it is doing something that may appear biased. That said, I have personally experienced Google excluding many relevant links from their searches, even if you try to force it to return/display them. Relevant links that do show up when you use another search engine. But to trully find out if Google is programmed for bias you would look at the rules that the algorithms are following but also the code itself could be intentionally bypassing those rules, and whether congress can demand access and vetting of Google's source code is a whole other ballgame lol.
Alot of businesses has not been provided technology to update or govern over specifics necessary for progressions there are ideals transformed under simple unnecessary context
no gun is pointing at your head to press the keyboard on your phone to use public search engine knowing full well it is processed by unknown number computers owned and used by unknown people.
Even if you switch search engine you're still tracked by Chrome. Even if you switch to another browser Android itself is compromised. Your answer is basically either discard your privacy or refuse to use phones... we as consumers can't demand for a better product?
It seems Congress did not do its homework of reading the Privacy Policy, and research of data collection evidence beyond what is stated before the hearing. Cringe...
Congress has 0 knowledge on technology but I support them on the basis that they’re trying to make sure these sorts of companies aren’t taking advantage of ones every move on the internet. For example how many times have you googled something and ads of that same item show up on every social media? Congress is trying to protect people from monopolies controlling and having surveillance of consumers every move
A person who is Happy is not because everything is right in his life. He is happy because his Attitude towards everything in his life is Right. ❤️ Sundar Pichai ❤️
Correction on your title. It's supposed to be "Congress grills themselves". You should have also included Mr. Lieu's parts because he is the only person in those seats with any knowledge of the internet. He also perfectly describes what this was. "A waste of time".
