I received the email at the bottom of this post from Google this morning (I'm a Google Workspace Customer in the US).It struck me as odd they'd reach out to me directly about proposed legislation, and frankly made me feel a bit awkward.Anyone else get this email? Have they done this before? This isn't a normal thing for mega-corporations to do, right?---Subject: Take action: Understand the impact of new legislation on your businessFrom: Google Customer Solutions Dear Mathgorges,Right now, Congress is considering regulations that would have unintended consequences for your business – costing you time and money.If passed, these bills could disrupt many of the digital tools you rely on every day – including Google Ads and Analytics, Gmail and Docs, and your business listing on Google Search and Maps.
