Not for defamation, nobody was defamed in that scenario. But Wikipedia has been sued for defamation at least once: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_News_International_v._Wi...

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

You'd think so, along with other countries that have defamation laws. But there's no indication of any penalty, and Google wasn't even made to pay all the legal fees. Perhaps their business model (if there is any) can cope.

"pretended" ... do they even care any more?

It's hard for me to even contemplate having "nothing to do." I haven't had paid work for many, many years, yet I don't feel like I have any spare time at all.

There's a comment below, "I just signed up and it’s super fast. Download the app, put in your name, allow Bluetooth. No email, no password, nothing." I suppose getting special "NFC card" permissions when they alread

"Commercially reasonable" would be something cheap, like ask a chatbot for an opinion.
