In Kiev and other places in Ukraine, hospitals, administrative buildings and army buildings are marked as "Funeral Homes". People have been trying to contact Google about this through different sources, but they are still there.

This is in the best case extremely distasteful trolling, in the worst case this is used for indicating targets for bombing.

Please help me get this to the attention of Google to delete these labels asap.

Or may be it is marked like this by Ukrainians so that when Russian soldiers look it up, they don’t bother to bomb them as what is the point in bombing a funeral home .

What this shows is that google doesn't have the tools to properly implement the restrictions they said to have applied. It's funny when they showcase products in a big presentation and never bring them to life but it also shows that even when it's important you sadly can't take them at face value.

Yet another case where a Google phone number would do a world of good

Would it?

The human nature of phone support permits social engineering. People have lost their phone numbers (and thus 2FA for their Coinbase or whatnot) via a targeted attack at their cell phone carriers' support lines, calling over and over until one rep buckles at the well-crafted sob story and overrides something.

I cannot imagine the magnitude of bullshit such a line would have to process. Posting it to HN would probably be faster and more effective in almost any case.
