A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Google does what Google wants. Lawsuits are the only remedy to any of their indulgent transgressions. And not everyone can sue.
Years ago I had to have a lawyer file a motion in court in order to get Google to erase private medical documents they had inadvertently gotten access to and then they cached. It’s one thing to index everything and another even if they temporarily have access to restricted data because of a security lapse. But to COPY data as cache is something that should be absolutely illegal.
But as I said, Google does what Google wants.
