Reid characterized the mistakes that won attention as the result of an internet-wide audit that wasn’t always well intended.

Oh yeah, there was a conspiracy to embarrass Google with off-the-wall questions like “how do I thicken pizza sauce?”

Why are these corporate schmucks unable to take any blame?

No audit is well intended. The whole ppint of an audit is to find duplicitous and fucked up shit.

It wasn't us, it was the people who used it who really caused the failure.

Sadly, b/c their jobs literally depend on them NOT doing so, in today's corporate hellscape environ:-(.

If Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you'd only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can't have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.
