This is a false dichotomy that lets Google off the hook for irresponsibility and amorality.
If Google’s management is not responsible for Google’s pathological behavior, then nobody is.

It's not like it would be that difficult to provide a single shred of support for users that isn't hidden at the center of a labyrinth that most people cannot find their way through, but excusing that by saying the larger labyrinth is even more difficult overlooks the fact that labyrinths are inherently designed to contain evil and we shouldn't ever have to navigate them. Labyrinths are designed to trap monsters. The only reason to put humans into them is to feed those monsters.

- deelowe 3y agoNo, this is a result of how the DMCA is written. If a content distributor is notified of infringing content, they must take immediate action or else face penalties. The problem is, there's no definitely way for a content distributor to know if content is truly infringing until a court has made it's decision. This puts content distributors in a precarious position. The only way to ensure liability is minimized is to to assume any complaint is valid and take immediate then arbitrate on the back-end.
