Google Boss to EU: Nope, Did Not See How to Counter Regulatory Hurdles
November 16, 2020
Ooops. And “Hey, I have not seen the report.”
Sound familiar?
“Google CEO Apologises for Document, EU’s Breton Warns Internet Is Not Wild West” reports that:
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has apologised to Europe’s industry chief Thierry Breton over a leaked internal document proposing ways to counter the EU’s tough new rules for technology companies.
The write up noted:
Pichai apologised for the way the document came out, a paper which he had not seen nor signed off, saying that he would engage directly with Breton if he sees language and policy that specifically targets Google, another person familiar with the call said.
Yep, a bionic response from Google’s non-digital intelligence node.
Ooops. Ooops. Ooops. Ooops. Error like YouTube filtering. Ooops. Ooops.
PS. Where’s the list of Google 165 critics? Why does this Reuters’ story have different date and time stamps? Just curious.
