File a small claim for damages up to 10,000 to 20,000 USD depending on your local statues. It’s actually pretty quick and easy. They cannot defend themselves with lawyers, so a director usually has to show up.
I've been thinking for a while that a coordinated and massive action against a specific company by people all claiming damages in small claims court would be a very effective way of bringing that company to heel.

> That strikes me as the right thing to do Yep, and it's there for very goos reasons. However if you don't know about it, it can be quite surprising and challenging to debug. Also it's annoying when your phones permissions optimiser runs and removes the location permissions from e.g. Google Photos, and you realise a few months later that your photos no longer have their location.
There is never a good reason to permanently modify my files, if that is what is going on here. Seems like I wouldn't be able to search my photos by location reliably if that data was stripped from them.
What happens is that when an application without location permissions tries to get photos, the corresponding OS calls strip the geo location data when passing them. The original photos still have it, but the application doesn't, because it doesn't have access to your location.
This was done because most people didn't know that photos contain their location, and people got burned by stalkers and scammers.

#473Happened to me last week. One morning we wake up and the whole company website does not work. Not advice with some time to fix any possible problem, just blocked. We gave very bad image to our clients and users, and had to give explanations of a false positive from google detection. The culprit, according to google search console, was a double redirect on our web email domain (/ -> inbox -> login). After just moving…
> The culprit, according to google search console, was a double redirect on our web email domain (/ -> inbox -> login). I find it hard to believe that the double redirect itself tripped it: multiple redirects in a row is completely normal—discouraged in general because it hurts performance, but you encounter them all the time . For example, http://foo.example → https://foo.example → https://www.foo.example (http → ht…

I'm not sure, but it's on my mind. I own what I think are the key protocols for the future of browsers and the web, and nobody knows it yet. I'm not committed to forking the web by any means, but I do think I have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to remake the system if I were determined to and knew how to remake it into something better.

Intriguing comment, but your username does not inspire confidence.
I do think I invite people to disrespect me a little though. It ensures that I have to work harder and succeed on the merit of my work.

In all US states corporations may be represented by lawyers in small claims cases. The actual difference is that in higher courts corporations usually must be represented by lawyers whereas many states allow normal employees to represent corporations when defending small claims cases, but none require it.
This is not accurate. I filed a claim against Bungalow in Oregon. They petitioned the judge to allow their in house attorney I was dealing with to represent them. The judge denied the request citing the Oregon statute that attorneys may not participate in small claims proceedings. Bungalow flew out their director of some division who was ill prepared. Slam dunk. took all of 6-8 hours of my time end to end. The claim…

#477We really need an internet Bill of Rights. Google has too much power to delete your company from existence with no due process or recourse. If any company controls some (high) percentage of a particular market, say web browsers, search, or e-commerce, or social media, the public's equal access should start to look more like a right and less like an at-will contract. 30 years ago, if a shop had a falling out with the…
It’s almost as if those companies have country like powers. Maybe they should be subject to same limitations like First Amendment etc.

It's true that putting locks on your front door will reduce the chance of your house getting robbed, but if you do get robbed, the fact that your front door wasn't locked does not in any way absolve the thief for his conduct. Similarly, if an organization deploys a public system that engages in libel and tortious interference, the fact that jumping through technical hoops might make it less likely to be affected by t…
> mitigating false positives First & foremost I really need to emphasise that, despite the misleading article title, this was not a false positive. Google flagged this domain for legitimate reasons. I think there's likely a conversation to be had about messaging - Chrome's warning page seems a little scarier than it should be, Firefox's is more measured in its messaging. But in terms of the API service Google are pro…
Why would it flag a domain rather than a subdomain?

It would be glorious if everybody unjustly screwed by Google did that. Barring antitrust enforcement, this may be the only way to force them to behave.
