What laws Google (and Cloudflare) does not abide with?
It seems like Lieferando is the problem here. How comes that company is still in business? It seems like obvious identity theft to me, if anything Google is only guilty of trusting Lieferando too much.
- thyristan 1y agoVarious rights to correct misinformation and misdirection exist that Google blatantly ignores. Google aides and abides identity theft, deception and fraud this way, also profiting from it. As soon as Google knows about a crime being committed and about information they spread being wrong or even fraudulent, they do have a duty to immediately take it down, otherwise they are an accomplice. As soon as a certain site like lieferando and cloudflare is known to provide mostly fraudulent information, Google also has the duty to implement more thorough checks for information from those parties and even stop trusting them.
- tobr 1y agoThere was a good comment on HN the other week about identity theft: > There's no such thing as identity theft, it's all bank fraud or in this case student aid fraud. "Identity theft" is a term coined by banks to try to make it sound like random people should have to deal with the fallout of the banks' bad identity verification practices. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43923179 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43923179 In this case, the ”identity theft” happens because Google trusts someone they shouldn’t. If they didn’t, the scam wouldn’t be possible. Yes, the scammer is the problem, but Google are providing them the opportunity, and leave it to each victim to deal with the situation.
