> since then it seems that they have forgotten their fear of liability
They most likely have offloaded the liability to a “machine learning algorithm”. It’s easy for companies to point the finger at an algorithm instead of them taking responsibility.
Which then leads them to the awkward place of having to be transparent about how their algorithm work
Either take responsibility, or be transparent.

I take offense to this. Sure, I like to eat cake.
But if I liked to eat cake as much as Google does, I'd have died of obesity (= have my life ruined by legal issues) a long time ago.
