U.S. House panel sets Google CEO hearing for December 5
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing with Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai on the Alphabet Inc unit’s social media practices on Dec. 5, the committee said on Wednesday.
Pichai in September had agreed to testify at a future date before the panel over Republican concerns that the company is biased against conservatives after it skipped a high-profile Senate hearing. Google has denied it is biased toward conservatives.
Google confirmed on Wednesday that Pichai will testify.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, noted that the company accounts for nearly 90 percent of worldwide search traffic.
