Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel

The agreement tells participants they’re “expected to feature the Google Pixel device in place of any competitor mobile devices.” It also notes that “if it appears other brands are being preferred over the Pixel, we will need to cease the relationship between the brand and the creator.” The link to the form appears to have since been shut down.

“Google Pixel: Please don’t put us next to an iPhone.”
