I'm curious, if Google reported this to a credit rating agency, would they be liable for defamation?


How would you know? Arent those reports opaque ML with a scalar result?

GDPR should allow you to extract that info in some countries. But I dunno about the US.


OP is refering to the only way to get support from google or even attention. Produce keywords that flag it as a liability or lawsuit issue. \n Ironically, highly paid lawyers are googles only reliable reachable support.\n

Sometimes when you try to gamble a system and the system can gamble you right back, you pay dearly, in this case by having highly paid lawyers do telephone support.


Actually you're going me to much credit :)

I was just curious about that corner of U.S. law.


I've tried using the GDPR rights, it does not work, they won't extract anything, just scribble in a mail "yea, we have so and so on you" but won't actually give you any actual data containing any particular detail.


I thought credit rating agencies work with identified data.
