Simple solution: Google can delete whatever it wants for being "misleading content" but if they ever get it wrong, even in the slightest, 10% of Google's wealth

Simple solution: Google can delete whatever it wants for being "misleading content" but if they ever get it wrong, even in the slightest, 10% of Google's wealth is transferred to the aggrieved. If Google is so confident in its ability to be the sole arbitrator of truth for humanity, they should have zero issue with agreeing to this because it will be zero risk.
Of course they will never agree to such a condition because they know they aren't capable of even figuring out how to make products that the market wants much of the time. The Google Graveyard is proof of this. They sure as hell aren't capable of knowing more about virology than the virologists of the world who still are trying to figure things out.
Tech companies wanting to be in control of human ability to communicate with each other is simply a power play. Combat it with risk and they'll have to back down or suffer the consequences when they make a mistake (which they will, often).
- charonn0 5y agoThis might be reasonable if the aggrieved user has a right that Google violated. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
- judge2020 5y agoYou'll find that not many are for Google being so dominant and thus being able to limit potential information (or misinformation) spread, but you'll find almost everyone being against actually taking some of Google's wealth for doing so as they're still a private company and can do whatever that they want with their services, even if that's deleting information or removing files with the letter 'x' in their file name.
