google.s on google. a quirky california company has transformed the way the world finds things out. >> early on in web search engine history there were actually editors who were trying to make a list of all the good websites. and that's why google's appearance on the scene changed everything. >> google scans over 4 billion web pages for matching results. google chooses these results through a mix of looking for the closest word match and judging a page's relevance by counting how many other pages link to it. >> google came up with a simple algorithm and basically it decides for itself which are the most important sites, the most likely sites to have the answer you're looking for. >> that makes for a very efficient search, and word of how it works is getting around. >> when you make a big leap like that, you immediately become the winner. >> obviously, everybody wants to be successful. but i want to look back on making a big difference in the world. >> google's goal is to really organize the w

youtube is one of google's subsidiaries. he won't be the first internet ceo to face these kinds of questions. here's how the ceo answered lawmakers back in april. >> we need to take a more proactive role. it's not enough to just build tools. and that means we need to now take a more active view in policing the ecosystem and in watching and kind of looking out and making sure all of the members of our community will use these tools in a way that is good and healthy. >> i want to bring in my panel. dylan buyers. awe thor scott galloway is founder of l-2, a business intelligence firm. also a professor at nyu sterns school of business. m midwin charles is a attorney. and ron insana, cnbc analyst. we have to look at prepared remarks yesterday. what does it tell us about his strategy and the mess aging? >> the tone coming out of google has changed. in the course of the last few years as various tech executives have been asked to come to washington, google has really not cooperated. larry page, who's the ceo of alphabet, google's p

it was a tutorial for just how google works. >> if you google the word "idiot," under images, a picture of donald trump comes up. i just did that. how would that happen? how does search work? >> we have gone out and crawled and copied billions of pages and we take the keyword and match it against the pages and rank them based on our signals. >> it is not some little man behind the curtain figuring out what we are going to show the users? it is a compilation of what users are generating. emily: not some little man. we caught up with the democrat from rhode island who asked a series of questions about china. >> i was not satisfied, i was disappointed with answers. it is inconceivable that google could launch in china and, at the same time, honor its commitment to universal human rights and to be sure they are a force for good. they will be used to collect information, to engage in censorship, human rights organizations have come out against this. what i hoped he would say is google does not intend to do it but he did not. he continued to say it was an internal discussion but it is alarmin

brad: the search engine aside, if google were to introduce cloud tools in china, google would have tore data inside the country. does that worry you? john: if you wind back to the time google decided to exit china, it was not just censorship but also surveillance, hacking attempts. things like that. and those all added together to create a situation. you know we're in a different time now, asking how you do this, how you make it safe. but you're right, if you store data in the country, it can be gotten at by the chinese authorities. brad: does that make you feel uncomfortable? john: i think you should worry about it. at a minimum, you better make sure your users understand that. brad: speaking of divisiveness, we do seem to be in the midst of a trade war with china. what would be the potential implications for silicon valley, or for alphabet in particular, if the hostilities continue or even get worse? john: i think in general, trade wars are not productive, and they're not economically productive either. i think we should remind people of that and find a way to move forward. brad: go

i see it on me, on google. there are times you can search on google and page after page there is negative news, which we deflect. we use important here is a robust methodology to reflect what is being said about any given topic at any particular time. we try to do it objectively using set of rubrics. it is in our interest to make sure we deflect what is happening out there -- reflect what is happening out there. i can ensure you we do it without regards to political ideology. our algorithms have no notion of political -- >> i'm going to run out of time. i apologize for interrupting. i sincerely believe that you believe what you're saying. but you have almost 90,000 employees -- somebody out there is doing something that just is not working if you are looking for unbiased results. , time seen this firsthand after time. i just mention two of the very obvious ones that people would remember, yeah, heard about those bills. described and others -- i'm sure you will hear other examples. if it is happening, do you see
