Technology companies firms have responsibility to protect privacy: Google

San Francisco: Tech companies, ranging from big to small and established to startups, should keep in mind their responsibilities and tech ethics to securely protect user data or other private information from being leaked, a Google executive has said.
In response to a question about cases of data leaks involving many companies in recent years, Peter Norvig, director of research at Google, said that the key in this regard is that tech firms should put safety measures in place and make them available to everybody working in those companies.
He said that although there are times when a company has the idea of having it move fast amid competition or market pressures, it has to slow down and double check its product before it is launched, Xinhua news agency has reported.
