"Incompetence" implies it was unintentional. This was completely intentional.
"Disregard of the law" implies there is some law against this. Any law that will not punish the offender is not a law. So there was no "disregard" of any law in this case.
Sundar Pichai is a conservative. His company leadership reflects conservative values, such as destruction of the environment, supporting genocide, supporting war and supporting fascism.
Conservatism is cancer. The disease has metastasized and has infected most major corporations in the U.S., including Google. I'm not sure a cure is possible, but the treatment for it is not peaceful or pretty. We would need thousands more people named Luigi to be willing to perform heroic, selfless acts.
These sociopathic bastards think that anything that isn't explicitly illegal under the law has social consent. The asshole Microsoft CEO even said as much publicly.
I would say capitalism is the cancer, but conservatism sure supports it.
Unchecked capitalism is the direct result of unchecked conservatism. If not for conservatives, the normal people would be permitted to regulate capitalists and determin how much capitalism is acceptable in our modern culture.
Under conservatism, the normal people are not even permitted to charge capitalists with crimes, force them to pay fair taxes or force them to pay fair wages. Is it only conservatives who protect capitalists from the regulating hand of the normal people.
Conservatives are the ones who do the dirty work of union busting and passing laws that protect capitalists, even when it directly harms the public.
If not for conservatives, the normal people would be permitted to regulate or abolish capitalism as we choose. Conservatives have always opposed regulations for capitalists. They will resort to violence in their protection of the wealthy.
We cannot defeat the boss until his foot-soldiers are dead.
