Another example on why Google policy makers need to get out of thier offices and look at Google from the street.

As someone who's spent a limited amount of time in Canada and most of my life in the UK, I'd say consumer law back home is a lot better. For instance, EU-wide there is a minimum 12-month guarantee on electronic purchases.
3 months notice seems like a fair practice for Google to have, for them and for their customers.

NY Times is wrong, I spoke with Google. They have to make the changes in france for specific ads, but no where else. They have NO plans on changing their policies elsewhere.

I cannot reconcile this bit of the article@
| The specific conditions apply only in France, and concern only ads for tools aimed at helping drivers avoid speeding tickets. |
|
with this:
| the French Competition Authority got Google to modify its contractual rules on a worldwide basis |
