> Never forget what happened to Australian UniSuper

I don't know if media or the readers are at fault. The article doesn't even make sense.

> More than half a million UniSuper fund members went a week with no access

If Google really caused such a huge loss there would be no joint statement. The buyer i.e. UniSuper would be trying to sue them. The fact that it is a joint statement implies the two parties are sharing the responsibility. Now complaining about UniSuper is boring and so spinning it on Google Cloud gets clicks.



The word at the time was that they were heavily compensated by goog (I guess the company was lucky their issue got some much media attention).


I’m a customer of Unisuper - the daily update emails definitely pinned the blame on the service provider.
