You're absolutely right, we should give google the opportunity to defend itself. What's the phone number google provides so their victims can speak directly with an informed googler to discuss it?

What's that? Google doesn't publish a phone number for their victims to do that? They just victimize and hide?

Okay then google, here's your chance: please reply to this-here post of mine, with a plausible explanation that convincingly exonerates you in light of the evidence against you.

I'll check back in a few hours to see whether google has done so. Until they do, we can continue blaming them.
