In December, Google CEO Sundar Pichai conceded that his company could „do better“ on helping users understand how to protect their privacy in a tech world hungry for user data.
„We want to simplify it,“ Pichai told members of Congress during a back-and-forth on a number of privacy concerns. In an opinion piece Wednesday in The New York Times, Pichai highlighted some of those efforts, calling privacy „one of the most important topics of our time.“
Pichai acknowledged that having access to our data makes Google’s services run better, but that users — all users — should still expect their privacy to be protected without having to pay extra for the privilege.
„Privacy cannot be a luxury good offered only to people who can afford to buy premium products and services,“ he wrote.
