I think you're forgetting that the pillar of our economy is trust, and communication, removing the trust and everything collapses, it was engineered like this, our whole economy is engineered on impulses, testimonials, advertising, and shallowness. Remove that, and these corporations save $5m and lose billions.
I agree with you, I wouldn't give someone 10 euros if not vetting, but if google puts "Verified by Play Protect" , restrict me to do anything, talk about their stores as a safe and vetted place, then it must be kept accountable
- ethbr1 2y agoThere's two separate issues here: 1. Dealing with Google's failure to remove in a timely manner 2. Dealing with the fraud Comingling them creates a slippery slope ("I drove my car into a lake because Maps told me to...") that erodes normal expectations of personal responsibility. What should she have done to vet? Go to the website of the party she's transferring the money to and verify the app from their end? That doesn't seem much to expect for a multi-million dollar personal risk.
- lnxg33k1 2y agoGoogle maps is not responsible for people going in a lake, unless they'd say "USing google maps make you safe from driving in a lake", I think we're not understanding each other, I am not saying people aren't responsible for themselves, I am saying if companies are responsible for what they advertise
