    Funny meme, but Google does in fact snitch, all the time. It’s literally their whole business model.

      Tbf neither did the McDonald’s snitch. I mean, they probably DID because they will not see a cent of that money, but they still snitched based on the promise of money, not just for free.

        I have never wanted a McDonald’s worker to suffer more than they already do before this bullshit. Hopefully they never get the reward.

        50k sounds like a fortune when you work at McDonald’s. 50k is a lot. 50k is life changing money.

        We need to put this snitch’s story up everywhere in public. Snitch to the cops and they won’t even pay you. It’s not worth it.

      Exactly. They are literally the main tool that the US government is using to circumvent the US Constitution, and spy on its citizens without a warrant.

    Remember that time Google deleted a guy’s account and reported him to police for discussing his kid’s health with their doctor?

    https://archive.ph/lUfPr

    Dude lost basically every picture of his kid since he was born because Google won’t let him back into his Google drive, even after the police cleared him of any wrongdoing.

    Some asshole is gonna respond “that’s what he gets for trusting cloud storage” as if the problem with cloud storage isn’t that big companies have people fooled into thinking it’s safe. Yeah, you should keep local backups of everything in case of this exact scenario, kind of like how women should carry pepper spray in case they get assaulted in public. Don’t blame victims for not taking every possible precaution.

      Just want to add one more thing:

      Mark still has hope that he can get his information back. The San Francisco police have the contents of his Google account preserved on a thumb drive. Mark is now trying to get a copy. A police spokesman said the department is eager to help him.

      You know you fucked up when the police are the good guys in the story.

          I assume it’d because it’s someone’s incredibly private information, and they want to make sure they don’t give it to some random Joe. I know if the police had naked pictures of my kid, I’d be happy if the process of getting copies took more than just showing my ID and getting a thumb drive

      Yet businesses do that all of the time. Although I think quite a lot of suing would happen if anyone deleted our data.

    Pretty sure a lot of that camera data in NYC was from Google and Amazon.

    Also, META, Amazon, and Google all kissed the ring. I can’t imagine our collective data isn’t one of the reasons for the initial invitation.

    I love how people are blaming McDonald’s—and boycotting them—for the actions of a single employee. How does that make any sense?

    I’m pretty sure the police already know which of their criminals escaped from prison, they are not that useless, so it’s not like Google are preventing anyone coming after him.
