Google allegedly enlisted millions of individuals around the world to enhance the quality of its products through “crowdsourcing,” “the practice of obtaining information input into a task or project by enlisting the services of a large number of people, either paid or unpaid, typically Via the Internet.” Google promised Local Guides who achieved “Level 4 status” a free terabyte of data storage but then charged $10 per month beyond the two-year period to maintain access to their stored data.
