I wonder if you would be describing it as perceived, harmless, and unintentional if Google had done the same thing.

It certainly wasn't remediated, given that the donations received were not refunded. "Stops doing fraud when caught" is not remediation.





My moral compass does not change based on who is being accused, but context is fundamental to make a proper judgment.

It is hard to come up with a situation where Google would be doing these types of tricks, because Google is already the dominant player in the market and they don't want to create products that cannibalize their own revenue streams.
