I am not confusing anything.
I am pointing out that 2 perfectly innocent people who did a perfectly legal thing wound up as the target of the police through no fault of their own solely thanks to Google.
The question is: what safeguard is in place so that those innocent people caught in a too-unspecific dragnet don't wind up with damage being done by the police? And, the answer right now appears to be "Absolutely nothing."
This isn't theoretical. Swatting is a thing. People get shot because the police went to the wrong address. etc.
No, 60% accuracy is NOT good enough when someone might wind up up dead at the end of the interaction. Sorry. Hard disagree.
As if I didn't have enough reason to remove Google from my life, police turning up on my doorstep because Google handed them data should sure drive that home.
