Google Is A Partially Dangerous Website, Google Warns
Google is a “partially dangerous” website and people should be careful when using it, Google has warned, according to a report in the Independent.
An online transparency report prepared by Google has warned that the site’s main search engine could try and steal the personal information of its users or install malware on their computers, according to Google’s unusually frank assessment of itself.
The report is on how private and safe websites are – and calls out those that are potentially dangerous.
“Users sometimes post bad content on websites that are normally safe,” a warning that shows on every potentially dangerous website reads. “Safe Browsing will update the safety status once the webmaster has cleaned up the bad content.”
Google’s rivals Bing and DuckDuckGo are both let off by the transparency report, which lists neither of them as dangerous.
