> The problem is not that the drugs were illegal. Yes, it was. The entire article is about setting up a sting to catch Google helping people sell illicit drugs. > The problem was that they were fake. I'm running out of ways to explain this to you: the sting showed no evidence that Google knew that the drugs were fake---only that they knew that they were trying to sell illegal drugs. There are two competing ideas going on here: 1) Google knowingly facilitated the sale of illegal drugs. 2) Google knowingly facilitated scammers. From what I could tell, the article demonstrated (1) but not (2). I don't think (1) is evil. I do think (2) is evil. So if you disagree with my interpretation of the article, at least you can be satisfied that we agree on something.
