Google chairman: We're not going to touch Trump vs. Clinton

No matter which candidate gets your vote in the 2016 presidential election, the world's most valuable tech company will not be standing behind you. Google will not lend its support to either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, according to company's executive chairman Eric Schmidt. "We have not taken a position on the American election and nor do I expect us to," said the longtime Googler.

Google might be how much of the world gets its information about politics these days, but it is not immune to accusations of political bias. Schmidt has previously been described as a "kind of guru" to President Barack Obama's campaign manager, and Google employees were found to be the No. 2 donor to the Democratic National Committee at the last election. But Google has been careful to ensure the company itself does not openly affiliate itself with one political party.
