    Is it still a “good faith attempt to share information” when they’ve ignored reports that their information is incorrect for literally a decade? If this was medical advice, would you still be saying that the provider of decade old misinformation not be at fault?

    Why is it ok for a provider to knowingly give bad instructions, instructions that they have very good reason to know is incorrect, that leads to someone’s death? At what point does it become clear neglegencenon the provider of said instructions?

    I’m not saying Google is 100% at fault for the death, as the local municipalities owe a lions share of the blame for not properly marking the danger in a way that could have saved this person’s life. But washing googles hands of blame when they couldn’t be bothered to update their routes after a fucking decade is unconcionable.
