Yes the most likely to fall are going to be targeted, but if you make that group of people 90% smaller with a delay that is still beneficial.

Whether the feature is beneficial overall is a different story. But helping some people is great even if it doesn't help everyone.

> helping some people is great even if it doesn't help everyone

It's kind of funny, but I very much agree with this. It's just in this case, it's hurting everyone (in ways most don't even realize) so that you can help a few people.

It's like putting everyone in prison, because some people might commit a crime and this would save some victims. A bit of an overreaction, no?

I'm not convinced it's 90% smaller.

It's the entore story in my eyes. Hell paved with good intentions (and I don't even think Google's intentions are good).
