Replace Google with Alphabet Inc. #270

Open ghost opened 11 months ago

ghost commented 11 months ago

Alphabet Inc. is the parent organisation for Google, and thus needs to be fixed in source/companies.

The problem here is that the entry Google is in source/companies, and there is a lot of obsolete data in dist/trackers that loops back to source/companies. An example of this is admeld.

The README covers adding or correcting database entries, but doesn't advise on how obsolete data should be handled, when it's linked to source/companies. By changing Google to Alphabet in source/companies, there will be a lot of build errors due to an invalid company ID.
