I blog about books, podcasts, courses I've done, product management thoughts du jour, and the occasional rant

Maybe they shouldn't have done something that moronic? If people wanted free books they could always pirate them, openly infringing by hosting copyrighted books for a few people to slightly more easily read them for free... How could they possibly think that was a good idea?

The case for doing what they did is that it helped a lot of people access books (eg school curriculum ones) in the middle of Covid (not everyone knows how to pirate things).

Not saying it was the right move but you can see where they're coming from, they wanted to help people.

Someone on Twitter said:

You're a step too far with your assumptions. I'm a Googler. I've noped away when Pebble sold to Fitbit. But seeing from the inside how Google treats user data, I'd be 100% ok with the data going to Google instead.

Can you expand a bit on the quality of Google's internal practices with user data? eg what would an engineer on Google Photos need to do to be able to access my photos, if possible at all
