In April, he said at a press conference: "You know, there’s a porn store for Android [phones using Google’s software]. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That’s a place we don’t want to go – so we’re not going to go there."
In late May, according to The Guardian, he had the following exchange with a writer for Gawker website (a New York news & gossip website):
