> It seems so bizzare google will publish such information without ever validating it with the business.
Why should they? Validation would be expensive, and the false information doesn't hurt Google. Where else are you gonna list?
If they don't want to validate it, they shouldn't publish it or sell advertising on a service that used the unverified data. It was OK for the web because that's the only way, but maps have a lot more sources of truth.
