Verdict: Google has to read e-mails sent to the address in their website imprint.

Verdict: Google has to read e-mails sent to the address in their website imprint.

Google two days ago retreated from fighting a German verdict that said they have to actually read e-mails sent to the address they provide in their website's imprint.
Until recently, people writing to that address just got an automated reply which told them to use other means to contact the internet giant.

Well, these days are over.

  2. Oh, they will hate this. Hate, hate, hate! The fear of everyone in Google is that the users will find a way to communicate with them personally, and they would then be overwhelmed immediately and permanently by the zillions of dumb questions.

    I think they'll work hard on making an AI-like autoanswer bot to do this for them.

  3. blanche nonken Why bother translating? Who said they have to process what is written or respond - only that they be "read"! (Are they required to tally mail by category - love vs. hate, etc.?) Hm.
