Google failed to warn 10 million of Turkey earthquake

Google failed to provide adequate earthquake warnings to millions of people in Turkey, according to the company's own data. The tech giant reported that it only issued 469 "severe" warnings prior to the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the region, despite having the capability to reach an estimated 10 million people. The company's emergency alert system, which is designed to warn users of impending natural disasters, did not appear to function as effectively as expected in this situation. The lack of timely and widespread warnings has raised concerns about the reliability and reach of Google's emergency notification services, particularly in regions prone to natural disasters. The article highlights the importance of effective early warning systems and the responsibility of tech companies to ensure their products and services can adequately protect and inform the public in times of crisis. This incident underscores the need for continued improvement and evaluation of emergency alert technologies to better serve vulnerable communities.
