Google takes no action to review the reports that their warnings are false until you sign up for Google products (namely - registering the site in their search console).

I reported a falsely flagged site repeatedly for weeks with absolutely no action from them.

Mozilla and Microsoft both did actually remove the warnings after the reports (Edge and Firefox stopped displaying the warning). Google did not. Google strong armed me into registering for google products, like a fucking bastard of a company.

This was the moment I went from "I don't love google anymore" to "Google can get fucked".

I wish them bankruptcy and every damn legal consequence that is possible to enforce.

I'm not defending google, I'm just wondering if claiming libel is barking up the wrong legal tree.
