This requirement has sparked criticism on social networks, with many seeing it as an “attempt to control bloggers’ content.” It is noteworthy that this point applies only to the #TeamPixel program, which is separate from the press and technology review program. Media representatives, including Engadget, confirmed that they have not encountered such situations.
In response, Google acknowledged the error, and communications manager Kayla Guyer explained that the restrictive language was “not consistent with the intent of the program and has since been removed.”
The company emphasized that the goal of #TeamPixel is to distribute devices to bloggers, not to dictate positive comments or control the narrative.
