Google doesn't listen to everything you do.
In my new novel I mention a bus terminal in Ohio. I haven't published it. It's just in a Word document on my PC.
Now Google is asking me to review the bus terminal, because it thinks I visited it.

Re SaltPath scandal. It seems I was wrong to accept the theory of a fraudulent illness.
However, the pain caused by the publicity claiming even a partial 'cure' for those suffering typical CBD is very real. Such topics need to be handled with delicacy.
