Re:Google CEO allegedly sought to keep Incognito mode issues... by estebarb on Saturday September 25, 2021 @12:43PM (#28654460)
It doesn't make sense at all. When I'm driving a car, let's say a Toyota, I expect that the car would protect me from its own failures (like: alerting me of oil or battery issues). But no way I would expect the car to avoid collisions with other Toyotas just because those are made by the same company.

The same argument could apply to firearms (shouldn't harm the holder, so the same firearm model shouldn't hurt other holders of the same firearm model?) and a lot of things.

Those analogies don't fit. Collisions between cars have nothing to do with the intention of Toyota. Toyota isn't in the business of causing cars to crash. Firearm manufacturers aren't really in the business of encouraging civilian gun users to shoot each other.

Google's fundamental business model involves tracking people, so if you use one of their features that supposedly turns off tracking, it would be natural to assume that Google would stop all tracking.

You also wouldn't expect Toyota to make cars that would actively seek to colide with yours.
