I have an (odd) simple solution: If google offered to pay $X for each good bit of business address data, anyone submitting bad data would be committing fraud.

I have an (odd) simple solution: If google offered to pay $X for each good bit of business address data, anyone submitting bad data would be committing fraud. Google could send their whole profile to law enforcement. Would probably get much higher quality data as well.
- 0xffff2 7y agoAnd "law enforcement" would be deluged with so many reports, with so little actionable data, that they would simply ignore all of it. It's not even clear to me exactly who Google would report this to. Is it the jurisdiction of Google's headquarters? The jurisdiction of the fake business address? The (possibly unknown) jurisdiction of the perpetrator?
- inetknght 7y ago> Google could send their whole profile to law enforcement. I would venture a guess that law enforcement won't do a damn thing. Law enforcement will claim it's not their jurisdiction. Or they'll claim that it's too small of an offense to worry about and too busy to do anything about it. Or, damnably, law enforcement won't understand the technical aspect and just file a report and do nothing anyway.
