Congress having no idea how the internet works, part II.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai was brought in for a hearing with members of Congress about political bias in search results. But as the hearing went on, Congress members including Rep. Ted Poe, Rep. Lamar Smith, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Rep. Steve King, and Rep. Steve Cohen have no idea how the Internet and technology works. They asked about movement tracking, political bias in search results, how Donald Trump’s image became associated with a search of the word ‘idiot,’ unrelated issues with the iPhone, manipulating search, an online school, and more.

Yes google collects and sell your data. Yes, congressmen are not hindered by any knowledge.
Omg, how come these congress people can be so illiterate about the technology. They have no idea how the internet works. 7-8 year old children know better than them. Then these people represent Americans?
This is funny but don't let this politicians ignorance excuse the evil practices of social media companies.
That happens when half dead idiots sit in government
the pain…
The foundation of the internet as a whole is two users trading their IP address (Which is a unique identifier addressed to your device, that can be tracked) to transmit data.
This is where Google have come in to play.
Google are in the middle of those two users to make a more seamless, user friendly experience in transferring data from one user to another. Google doesn't own the internet what so ever. You're potentially being tracked from what ever website you use, what ever browser you use or what game you play or mobile device you use. It all depends on the receiver (website, game, etc) and what they decide to do with your IP.
Then you have GPS tracking which everyone knows what that is and fully is aware it can be turned off.
Moral of the story. If you're that bothered by potentially being tracked (because people wanna definitely know where you as an individual has been) then don't use devices or the internet. It's your choice? You sign up to that when you purchase a new device.
Asks question. Gets answer. Disagrees anyway
If I'm the Google CEO I'll tell them "let me explain technology to your oldass, open source software can be view by everyone while closed source software are non-free but companies will ask permission from their clients/customers if they can do certain tasks like tracking your fitness progress or searching for alternative route if there is a traffic and all these trackings (by those legit apps) are informed to their customers/clients in the form of EULA when they first open the app. And if you still didn't understand what technology is, ask the CIA or the FBI for they are the ones who do illegal stuff."
Literally everyone
Congressman: asks a question
Google CEO: answers the question
Congressman: “well you are wrong”
Sundar Pichai is an inspiration, not only for what he has achieved but how he controlled himself to let these boomers talk nonsense ?
Idiots congressmen
Poor ceo
They need to go retired
All these questions to ward the CEO. The reality is Googles AI should be questioned lmao ?
they should have googled it
Congress is not dumb u guys are dumb
half of these are legitimate questions not just dumb boomers but funny royalty free music is under the video therefore you must laugh at them
“Democrat friends” this guy had to be so specific didn’t he?
Wantedly targeting him because these ppl r jelous of him n his achivements.. soo they want to corner him.. the thing is they r in a responcible positions and they dnt even have patience to listen to the explanation.. they r there just to express their views and judgement, if that so y r they even questioning him..?
well…all the hate aside, thanks to these people there's atleast somewhat privacy control features implemented
Words can't describe how insufferable the first congressman is.
What's 9+3?
CEO:Sir it's 13
But you have to answer in yes or no
CEO:sir let me explain……(gets interrupted)
So you are making $100M a year and couldn't answer this question
????
0:40 I had to stop, this is just cringy.
The last person:- Have you thought of trying to make a google school where you can log in and ask questions?
Bro have you even used google before.
Isn't that what you basically do in google. Ask questions
I kinda feel bad for google’s CEO. These congressmen know very little about the Internet, when google’s expert litterally knows almost every single piece of source code.
Ummm…… I think they need to develop smart people instead of smartphones ?
It’s a yes and no because it all depends on the settings you choose
the attitude of these people, having no clue what theyre talking about and then just proceed to act like they do.
Utterly pathetic and punchable
Should replace this people
That first guy?♂️ So ignorant
"Mr. Google, what does button? YOU TELL ME OO!"
"Ehhhhh oO Sir, I am not……it depends which button exactly you are talking about!
"YES OR NO? o/ ! "
These congressional hearings are just becoming tech support for old people
i liked "how in iphone this thing popes up. can you explain it to me?"
"well sir the iphone is made by another company so you'd have to ask them"
Need regeneration, as soon as possible
Jesus, these are the people behind the curtain running America.
Google uses wifi even when you turn it off to get location, play store updates or installs something every time it opens without any permission, google services continuously runs in background even when there are no apps to handle, they permanently fixed the battery to the phone you cant remove it, they are tracking our everything.
Lose some brain cells watching this
A M E R I C A N S X D
3:45 he literally answered the question and in response got “no your wrong”…think the CEO knows more than you mate
