The right to freedom of speech means Google can say what they want when they want about the vulnerability, giving them the right to set a deadline.
There are certainly companies doing much worse than setting 90 day deadlines. For example VUPEN, Hacking Team, and GrayKey selling undisclosed vulnerabilities to "good" governments, and other companies servicing the shadier governments[1].

- pbhjpbhj 9y ago>The right to freedom of speech means Google ... Surely it means specific people employed by Google may "speak". Does the right extend to corporations?

- protomyth 9y agoCorporations are made of people and you do not lose your rights because you form a corporation.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoThat doesn't answer the question. Do corporations have the right to bear arms separate to the rights of the members of the corp - can Google keep an arsenal even if none of the people in it had a gun license?
- lawnchair_larry 9y agoKnowledge of where Microsoft forgot to enable a security check is not “bearing arms”. Imagine that world. I point out a mistake to you, and by reading or hearing it, you are suddenly holding a gun! We would have to criminalize coredumps :)
- IncRnd 9y agoNo corporations aren't people. That headline is pure clickbait. Some rights are extended to corporations due to corporations being a group of people who come together for a purpose.
- mikeash 9y agoThis speech was ultimately done by specific people employed by Google.
- s2g 9y ago> Does the right extend to corporations Unfortunately it does, to some degree. Religious freedom too. The US is fucked.
- IncRnd 9y agoYes, it does, at least since 2010.
- Buge 9y agoDoes freedom of speech extend to newspapers? Newspapers are corporations.
