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.
