Software is not considered a “product”, so it doesn’t come with the government protections against companies that sell defective or dangerous products.

Also, you don’t pay for Google. It’s a free search engine and a free email service. You get tech support if you pay for the enterprise workspace features.

So, if it's not a product it shouldn't be sold or leased, and people shouldn't be hired to build it.

  • To be clear, I was talking about the legal regime.

    Your snark should be directed towards legislators, not commenters on HN.
