Hopefully he will testify about Project Dragonfly as well. Human rights concerns should not get lost in the noise of partisan politics.

EDIT: Also, here is a slightly better stub article with an actual quote from Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/408972-house-judiciary...

Isn't it? It's hard to interpret https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-googl... otherwise.

I dare him to watch the entire video and say there's not a built in bias especially when they start talking about changing their search engine AI to give people "the correct information"

Convening a hearing on a specific subject (silly as it as in this case) then making it an open season for all other grievances is another despicable aspect of these hearings.

I don’t get it. What could Pichai possibly gain from participating in this kind of theatrics?

Not appearing to be giving the finger to congress, as it looked when he failed to show up to the last set of hearings? Pissing off congress is rarely a good idea.

The politics of private citizens are their own business and explicitly not the government's.

Furthermore even if that had any bearing on their search results whatever google presents on their own damn website is also none of the government's business.

Just because a company's leadership dislikes Trump doesn't mean they'll ruin the integrity of their product.
