Google 1395 Charleston - Mountain View, California

I was at Google headquarter outside the main buildings. At this day Google did the 25years party🙂. As visitor the campus areas are free to visit. It was very interesting to see all the modern side and the colorful bikes.
It is a huge area like an own small town. Photos I took with a Google Pixel, which was funny for me.
Parking was a bit challenging, because visitor center was not open in September, but Google put wrong info on website and guards excusted for this error.
This was also funny - somehow I like Google for this. This makes the compan, to me friendly😃

Incongruent.

They control, or allow themselves to be controlled, the reputation of any establishment simply by allowing a person to write through false reviews, ruinously, whatever they see fit, and what is more worrying, they ignore the fact that they themselves harass tirelessly, under the protection of the remoteness and camouflage that is given to them by this tool called "review", invented by them but of which they ignore using the disclaimer: "Reviews are not verified."

They legitimize reviews created with fake email accounts, all with the same headline, with the same content and score for an establishment, seeking to do as much damage as possible to it, whether due to a real problem with the company or with one of your employees, because they were having a bad day, or simply because it is an easier way to attack the competition, even after having complained about it, due to their inability to identify them even in plain sight. Furthermore, they silence others that are totally legal, arbitrarily, leaving us people who care about the truth baffled.

Of course it is good that people can express their opinion, but the gratuitous, constant, and destructive lie that their tool facilitates is not valid.

As the adage of Damocles, or Stan Lee himself, indicates, "With great power comes great responsibility," and they are not responsible enough controlling the great power their reviews have.

I hope your algorithm finds this review appropriate.

A cordial greeting,

We are putting a mobile home on our property and I have fixed our location on the map 10 times 😠 and it has been accepted every time but yet someone at google keeps moving the pin for our house every time. I am getting tired of it, and of course, there's no way to call and talk to someone at Google. We have people coming out to do work to get our property ready and can't find the property because ya'll won't leave our pin where I put it!

Hey Google! If I could, I would give Google zero stars. I am a Nest customer and was at one time, a great believer in all google products, but this April, they are shutting down a product (Nest) that I loved and are bricking services so the $5k I invested will no longer work at all. They also are only giving me $200 credit with ADT. My plan is to avoid Google, I will no longer trust them or any of their products. Maybe you don't own a Nest product but there's high probability Google will turn their back on you. Be on the lookout for the class action lawsuit that will hopefully give us once loyal Google Nest customers a better solution than a mere $200. Hello Alexa!

Google used to be the only place where you can find real reviews about companies. Reviews by end-users, intended to clearly warn the user for companies that serve bad food, have bad products, bad customer service, or even worse, companies that do immoral things or are corporate monsters. Google for years, for me as a reviewer, was the bright star in this landscape. I tried to be the knight that wrote reviews to help people. Take correct decisions, and especially, avoid being trapped.
This has changed completely. Since a few years, about 90% of my reviews get protested by the companies (a typical phenomenon - you write a negative review about company X - two days later X files a complaint and AUTOMATICALLY your review is cancelled. You can file appeal - but you cannot provide any context, nor talk to a Google representative. In short, these worst of the worst companies can safely run their business, at their most immoral standards ever. Google just lets them. Why? Biensur, for the money. You, the user, don't pay Google. The advertizing company does. And in "the good old times" Google was swimming in money, and they were a solid rock. Nowadays, also Google is having more though times, so they protect the companies much more. I absolutely agree, you need to fight fake reviews. But. Not everything is fake. I once wrote a very negative hotel about an Italian hotel that was fake. People in my circle got affected. I did research on the case, found undeniable proof the beautiful photos on Google Maps were fake, and wrote a devastating but correct review. Google? Banned it. Twice. Had to keep re-posting and mentioning Google in my review (in a very negative way, and referring to their own proof - they had Maps data confirming the bad state of the hotel, from months before.. ) to finally get their attention and get it approved.. How come one cheating owner can actually resist negative reviews for so long? Many reviewers got affected. More recently, a top Belgian restaurant, sued a Youtuber for mentioning the restaurant name in one of his videos. The restaurant chef/owner was the father of one of the (+-22 year old) kids that killed a student in a sorority event. The specific person was not directly at the event, but the whole group communicated via Whatsapp on the day of the event, and this person was heavily influencing the actions that day. The Youtuber revealed that together with proof findings of several inhumane activities he did in his "career" at the sorority group. I didn't post a review of course then. It has nothing to do with the restaurant. But, then the restaurant sued back the Youtuber for slander. While the kid really did not even lie. The restaurant also didn't mention he lied. Just that he couldn't mention the restaurant. What's more, this restaurant owner and all involved in this case, were high end people. Directors, lawyers, even judges and judge personnel. The youngsters didn't get any jailtime record, causing a huge public disapproval on the case. This restaurant showed a very negative attitude. A person was killed, yet they felt incredibly offended by people mocking their restaurant. I wrote a correct review, explaining that if a restaurant is actively sueing a youtuber for spreading true info, the restaurant clearly does not have any moral standards, and i do not appreciate eating there, no matter how good the food is. I even updated the review to appreciate the food. The review only had to show the immorality of the owners, in a correct way. Again, Google banned it. Why? Stop it Google, stop it. Stop obstructing decent and correct reviewers. You should instead empower us. Let both companies and reviewers write a text explaining the case, and then let someone with moral standards and who is not bound to your profit margins, decide on the case. I can't contact anyone, i can't write any statement. I can just appeal and get it banned again. This needs to be stopped, or we all will quit Google and go to other review methods.

If you get locked out of your account. They make it pretty much impossible for you to gain it back. There’s no one to talk to. There automated system just takes you around in circles. Now I have to worry about my information being stolen and to top it off I am losing an email I’ve had for the past 17 years. I think if you’re playing on using an email. Don’t use google they won’t help you
