Google busted for trying to strong-arm positive reviews
Requiring positive coverage for a review is just wrong
I feel like I’ve been piling on Google a lot on BTTR the past few weeks. I want to write about other stuff. But this is just so obviously unethical I have to call it out.
The Verge is reporting that Google’s influencer review program required those involved to discuss the Pixel phone favourably against other phones, or else Google would terminate the agreement and the influencer would be booted from the program.
This makes me angry in so many ways.
