Google's in a lose lose here, if they relent and identify the businesses the press will descend on them to get quotes about how they feel "getting tricked" by a bot and so on. But if Google hadn't left out the identifying information in the first place the businesses would have been inundated by callers and Google would have been criticized for letting a small business get "doxed" like that. And finally if they don't release any info there will be more stories about how it's fake. I guess they could have the bot call Dan Primack at Axios and clear it up...
