They circumvent this by using the word "avoid." Avoiding and not doing are two different things.

I don't know how you do something and avoid doing something at the same time.

Personally, I think the term "avoid" is more of an ideal/pragmatic stance ("would be ideal not to") than the binary "will do"/" will not do"

    avoid |əˈvoid|
    
    verb
    
    keep away from or stop oneself from doing (something)

Instead, I think Google just doesn't mind lying[1].
