@dangillmor@mastodon.social No, I don't remember that. "Google" is not and has never been a person and we do ourselves and humans in general a disservice by attributing to "it" goals or ethics. There are *people* who own and control the machine name "Google" and they have names and addresses.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social @hypebot@tldr.nettime.org I think their math is pretty easy. No legal penalty for destroying nature is getting close to the profit prospects. That's how they approach the law. If it's just a penalty payment then they don't care. The legal system must find new way to respond. Their licenses must be revoked to do business. That'll make them think twice.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social I'm having trouble with idea of cutting down 250k trees… and NO ONE noticing until they were apparently done. WTAF? Was it bulldozers and saplings, or what?

@dangillmor@mastodon.social A small fine of about 10% of their global turnover wouldn't be too much to ask (since it'll take a lot of money to regrow a forest of that size).

@dangillmor@mastodon.social I still remember that saying: when the tide goes out, we’ll see who’s not wearing any underwear.
