> A reporter from Ars Technica, after reading the article by @pkirn.bsky.social, was able to reach out to us and then directly contact a Google employee that could <i>accelerate our appeal to be looked into</i>.<p>Or the reporter was able to contact someone that could get the issue looked into at all, more like. You don't "accelerate" something that was never going to happen in the first place.<p>Also, this is a good time to remember that Google occasionally doubles down when they cause serious harm to individual users, even after being contacted by the media.

Absolutely disgusting behavior that Google hasn't taken accountability for to this very day.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32538805">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32538805</a>
