Yeah, I finished and posted my comment before you had edited yours to add everything below what I quoted, my bad.

It's news reporting, not the conclusion of a court case, the entire thing is "undecided" right now with no conclusion.

But the story itself is about how they (allegedly) illegally cleared forest, not about what percentage of Finland's forest Google has (allegedly) illegally cleared. The problematic part is the "illegal" stuff, obviously.

Don't focus so much on the HN title, lets discuss the actual contents itself instead of navelgaze about if the title is 100% accurate or what not.
