(Reuters) – Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has denied reports of political distortions of Internet search results, Axios reported on Friday, citing a memo.
The Wall Street Journal, citing internal emails, said Thursday that company staff had discussed ways to change search functions to counter the 2017 travel ban imposed by the Trump administration.
The newspaper report indicates that Google has not adopted the ideas that have been debated.
According to Axios, Pichai wrote an email to "Googlers" saying that an internal email suggesting that the company would compromise the integrity of its search results for a political purpose was "absolutely false".
"It is important to me that our internal culture continues to strengthen our mission of organizing global information and making it universally accessible and useful. "Said Mr. Pichai, quoted by Axios.
Google was not immediately available to comment.
