As somebody who's been boycotting big media for years, I can't be happier to see the copyright industry slowly backstabbing itself once and over again

Yea, no...the headline is wrong on this one. These guys are contractors. Google will just nuke Cognizant's contract and call it a day.

Those guys aren't particularly good in my experience and are just warm bodies to do things that should be automated anyway.

Google will simply go to another big contract firm and call it a day.

I was a "contractor" for JnJ. Which ok, is a different company but it's the same premise. The reason they contract the work out is so they can avoid giving benefits and cut costs for an essential job. All so when something like this happens they can just pass the buck off to the contracting company saying it's not their responsibility for the working conditions they set.
