This is exactly why we need to regulate Big Tech. Right now, they're saying: "It wasn't us, it was our AI's fault."

But how do we know they're telling the truth? How do we know it wasn't intentional? And more importantly, who's held accountable?

While Google's AI made the mistake, Google deployed it, branded it, and controls it. If this kind of error causes harm (like defamation, reputational damage, or interference in public opinion), intent doesn't necessarily matter in terms of accountability.

So while it's not illegal to be wrong, the scale and influence of Big Tech means they can't hide behind "it was the AI, not us."
