Do non-technical people think of `goo.gl` as Google?

• unsupp0rted 2y ago
  Yes. And non-technical people don’t know that goo.gl is a URL. Only that it looks like the word Google and Google is official, so this is fine.

    Well if it's someone that would be fooled by google-site.com then you don't really help them by shutting down goo.gl in particular.

      in a sense having goo.gl be legitimate only serves to legitimize google-site.com additionally we should tar and feather whoever came up with akams
