More accurate: a mom-n-pop grocery store has its listing on Google Maps changed to PERMANENTLY CLOSED DUE TO TOXIC HEALTH HAZARDS because the mom-n-pop grocery store didn't submit Form 26B/Z to Google. There was never any health hazard, but now everyone thinks there is, and nobody can/will go there. The fact that Form 26B/Z exists at all is problematic, but what makes it terrible is the way it's used to punish businesses for not filling out a form they didn't know existed.
This is an excellent analogy because it is incumbent upon businesses to follow all the laws, including the ones they don't know about. That's one of the reasons "lawyer" is a profession.
Google doesn't have the force of law (it's in this context acting more like a Yelp: "1 star review --- our secret shopper showed up and the manager didn't give the secret 'we are not criminals' hand sign"), but the basic idea is the same: there is a complex web of interactions that can impact your online presence and experts in the field you can choose to hire for consulting or not.
Didn't used to be that way, but the web used to be a community of 100,000 people, not 5.6 billion. Everything gets more complicated when you add more people.
