It's disturbing how often people infer that Google is impervious to the law.
- paulpauper 5y agoThat would req. showing that law was broken. I don't think in this case it was. More like a mistake.
- ghaff 5y agoIf Google refused to fix it, it might be different. But I expect that, if someone were to file a suit, not even trying to get it fixed wouldn't be seen as acting in good faith.
- inimino 5y agoDoes every person who is impacted by this kind of thing have the responsibility to do Google's QC for them? What about people who never notice it? Maybe a lawsuit would be hopeless, but it sure would be nice to see some kind of real consequences here.
- dcow 5y agoHow do you even contact Google about an issue like this in the first place? My only communication with Google in the capacity of a user has been automated messages.
- bliteben 5y agoMeanwhile sending an email to Google asking for something to be fixed, could be seen as an act of insanity.
- cwkoss 5y agoMistakes can be illegal. Intent only matters for small subset of laws.
