According to him, this agreement is a standard in the IT field. At the same time, Pichai disagreed with the accusations of blocking competition, saying that Google is competing on an equal footing with Apple, Microsoft and TikTok.
“Apple and Microsoft compete with Google in the advertising business and TikTok in the video services business. “Technology competition is very intense,” Pichai said.
He also stated that the appearance of the Short Films section on YouTube is a “great start” in the fight for user attention with TikTok, a similar market player.
