It's an Alphabet company. For most Americans, that's the proper explanation.
Yeah the distinction between Alphabet and Google is a technicality for most people. What is dishonest is suggesting it’s ready for general use when in reality, they’re only testing it in the Bay Area for now.
Clickbait headline.

>This screening site isn’t being developed by Google. Instead, it’s being built by Verily, Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either.

99% of the American public isn't following the day-to-day intricacies of Google's - sorry - Alphabet's corporate structure.

the difference is so petty, that i feel sorry for the writer. what a huge bombshell that post was /smh
The Google/Alphabet distinction is nit-picky, but the fact that the site may have intended to be used differently and is not even close to a public launch is surely the more important news.
The impression I got watching that was it was a dog-and-pony show, full of typical exaggerations and half truths. The site is the easy part.
