Good thing they redacted the Facebook CEO. He might not enjoy the negative public attention.

  It looks like the court has roughly the same standard as facebook when it comes to anonymized data.

  Good thing they redacted the Facebook CEO. He might not enjoy the negative public attention. The local newspaper's version of the story was nice enough to name Sundar Pichai by name. It also included a poor response from Google which was along the lines of, "He signs agreements all the time, but doesn't know what's in them, and so he's not really responsible in any way for this." Which is exactly the opposite of what the newly revised documents show. It's also very telling when a company's PR department pivots from protecting the company to protecting an individual at that company.

    "He signs agreements all the time, but doesn't know what's in them, and so he's not really responsible in any way for this." That’s exactly the point why he needs to sign to get his written approval. Defending him that we didn’t tell him everything would be pretty concerning.

    If you are the boss, you are responsible for everything the company does. You don't know? It's your job to know.

    can I use this excuse to get out of all my legal obligations and not pay my mortgage or my ad bills to Google?
