> Maybe letting a single internet company "organize the world's information" probably isn't such a great idea. Some food for thought.

When put like this, the thought that one company controls virtually all information flow on the Internet is more than mildly terrifying.

A great ice breaker for your next job interview.

And a deal breaker for dating apps.

I mean, the fact that the serial killer in question has been dead for forty years makes this conclusively "a funny story" and not "a red flag". But it also probably is mandatory to cover this ice breaker before the person you swiped on Googles you.

"Just FYI, funny story, Google thinks I'm a serial killer. But that guy's been dead for years, and Google is mixed up."

I would sue for damage. EDIT: Because they put an image with unterlated information together in such a way that it misleads people.

Damages require proof. Unless they can show they lost something because of the mistake, then there are no damages.

It could certainly affect someone's mental health and confidence.
