Take this the fuck down, Google is absolutely a fucking snitch where the fuck have you fucking been?
Google is a snitch, it just doesn't do it for free.
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.
$50k isn't a house, college education, visit to the ER, or even a good truck.
$50k could absolutely be a house somewhere in the middle of nowhere (or a large enough percentage that even a McDonald’s salary would qualify you for a mortgage). Taxes would probably knock it down quite a bit though.
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?
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.
If they’re so eager why didn’t they just get it done right away?
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
Some asshole is gonna respond "that's what he gets for trusting cloud storage"
Yet businesses do that all of the time. Although I think quite a lot of suing would happen if anyone deleted our data.
Funny meme, but Google does in fact snitch, all the time. It's literally their whole business model.
snitching is Google's entire business model wtf are you on

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.
Unless your initials are NSA, CIA, or FBI
or CEO
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.
wdym, LEA don’t even need a warrant.
Is that X mark a Wile E. Coyote trap?
Nah that's where he was supposed to stand but he missed his mark.
I love how people are blaming McDonald's—and boycotting them—for the actions of a single employee. How does that make any sense?
If McDonald’s pays their employees a decent wage the employee might not have been compelled to call the pigs.
I think it's great. Everyone with a reason to live longer should boycott McDonald's.
gestures to Tesla/Musk
'it's just the actions of one employee'
Can you count the owner as an "employee" or is he by definition the "employer?"
I dunno, but he definitely doesn't do any work
McDonalds could have made a public statement. They didn't
And say what?
They don't endorse the snitching
Riiight. 'Cause that's something any corporation would say, ever.
Kind of the point actually
So, I guess boycott every corporation. 🤷🏼♂️
Like, not even your favorite non-profit would say that. You're literally expecting the impossible.
I guess. Not really.
“Peak Design has not provided customer information to the police and would only do so under the order of a subpoena"
That's not the same as saying "We are against our employees calling the police when they see a suspect in our store." after an employee does that. That's what I'm talking about.
On the other hand, very few corporations would volunteer data without a court order. That's normal. We're not talking about that. We're talking about coming out and saying, "We don't support our employees calling the police on a suspect." That's something very few—or no—corporations would do.
It's two very different statements and situations.
Yeah, not really but somewhat. Anyway I actually enjoyed our debate, it seems we reached the point where we both understand what the other meant. I just come from bluesky where assholes quote post you to death instead of giving arguments to win the debate. Lemmy feels so much better, away from swarms of fans ready to defend their idols
You expected a rational reason for irrational behaviour? It's never going to make sense outside of "it's just virtue signaling."
