- judge2020 5y agoI’m sure that, if enough people report it, it’ll be delisted. It only has 500 users so I doubt it’s in any priority queue for a human reviewer to look into it.
- novium 5y agoSadly, the most efficient way is probably to report it to the abuse contact of the host. In this case - Scaleway / Online.net.
- qw 5y agoIt is surprising that they apparently haven't added a more strict check when an extension claims to be from a known company. I would have thought they would have a list of names like "Microsoft", "Facebook" etc. that would trigger a more thorough check. In this case it should be clear that they tried to pose as Microsoft, and it is coming from an account that has no association with Microsoft.
- mrweasel 5y agoYou'd think they'd have a vetting process on their ads as well, but they don't. Not a good one at least. Either Google doesn't care, or they aren't able to do any form of sensible checking of stuff uploaded to they various platforms. Well, either that or they don't see it as a massive issue.
- tasogare 5y agoThey don’t care. A company that can soft-censor (by placing specific warning messages) videos about a virus a few weeks after it became a hot topic in the West could easily detect big corpo brand appropriation if they wanted.
- cheph 5y agoEither Google doesn't care < this one IMO Caring removes money from them, at least in add case, so better to shift the bullshit to their "users", who are really the product being sold to advertisers, so who cares. Customer is always right, its just we are not the customer.
- dt3ft 5y agoThese reports are usually handled by a single person with a dozen other responsibilities. Chances are, nobody will ever read majority of user generated reports. Also, the person may have already left the company and a replacement was deemed by management to not be necessary.
- ableal 5y agoThanks for the heads up. Just when MS started offering login form filling from MS Authenticator ... (At least for me that popped up a couple of days ago, when I used the real Authenticator app for some MS authorization in my phone.)
