What if you don't have/want a Google account? You'd also assume that Google would have suggested that on the initial support case.

  I would ask a legal designee such as an attorney to do this for me if I was not interested in a Google account.

    Will Google pay for the attorney? It doesn’t make sense that I should waste time and money on dealing with a service I never signed up for. In this case I guess the publisher could help, but not everyone have that option. Also aren’t Google violating copy-right by pulling random images?

FYI, all you can do after claiming and being verified is to 'suggest' edits. These suggestions seem to be automatically considered, and pretty much all I've found you can do is to suggest links to add. You cannot alter or remove. Source: am verified as an authorized representative.

Why is the burden on her to 'claim' her panel? What does it even mean to 'claim' a panel? Who set the law on that? Is a 'panel' some kind of property which can be owned? if so, how did it end up as google's property? what is the claim mechanism which makes it OP's property? If OP does successfully 'claim' it, can google re-claim it? what rights does the OP get if she 'claims' the panel? google published false information which -it has been informed is wrong and harmful -it knows is wrong and harmful (evidence: they corrected it) Google does this at scale. You seem to be implying that this means all people now have a burden to 'claim' their google panel so they can correct google mistakes. And that you have to claim the panel google's way.

  This is data from the Knowledge Graph, which is not "owned" by Google. The KG is not Google data, it's shared data amongst several search engines. The claiming is an option given to entities as a courtesy. If they claim the Knowledge Panel (KP), they are trusted a bit more to make changes to the data that appears there.

  What if a phone book gives a wrong phone number for you? Why is the burden on you to contact the publisher? And who set the law on that? Is a ‘phone number’ some kind of property which can be owned? …and so on… If you want to fix the photo issue, I would guess claiming the panel would be the easiest way. If you want to fix it once and for all, you should probably advocate for a law that would fix that. Asking nonsensical questions online probably not gonna change anything.

    > Asking nonsensical questions online probably not gonna change anything. True, true. As ever, though, the devil is in the details; and as so often, the details are matters of definition: What exactly is a "nonsensical question"? To many of us, it's a question like: "Did you claim your panel?"
