Pichai fought back against claims that his business was anti-competitive. According to the Google CEO, the market-dominating search engine is "pro-competitive" and faces competition from Apple and Google in the digital advertising sector as well as TikTok in the video market. According to him, tech industry competition is "hyper-intensive," and TikTok's success "demonstrates there is competition in this field" and "how vibrant this market is" in comparison to earlier years. Google's own YouTube Shorts, which is viewed as Google's response to TikTok, is off to a "fantastic start," according to Pichai.
What about Pinterest's popularity?
The Google CEO declined to comment on the business's interest in acquiring Pinterest Inc., despite earlier this year's statement that the company had not considered buying Twitter.
