A bad experience with an entity is a legitimate reason to form a bias against them; indeed, that's the point. The nature of the threat that Google poses is likely to leak into many activities inviting criticism.
- tptacek 7y agoIn general, yes. For warning the public about your hacked site feeding malware to visitors, no, we can evaluate that directly and see that it is not a valid basis for a grudge.
