From Google – Take action: Understand the impact of new legislation on your biz
It struck me as odd they'd reach out to me directly about proposed legislation, and frankly made me feel a bit awkward.
Anyone else get this email? Have they done this before? This isn't a normal thing for mega-corporations to do, right?

Dear Mathgorges,
Right now, Congress is considering regulations that would have unintended consequences for your business – costing you time and money.
If passed, these bills could disrupt many of the digital tools you rely on every day – including Google Ads and Analytics, Gmail and Docs, and your business listing on Google Search and Maps. These changes could make it harder for customers to find your business and could hurt your productivity.
If you're interested in learning more about these bills, their impact on your business, and what you can do about it, we invite you to sign up to stay informed.
