Google's recent update to the News and Discover manual action policy notably removed adult-themed and artificial freshening sections, introducing several new deceptive practices sections that heighten compliance expectations for content creators.
The changes include new sections such as Coordinated deceptive practices, Good neighbor policy, and Impersonation. This revision aims to clarify the types of content that could lead to policy violations.
These modifications reflect a tighter stance on content authenticity and ownership transparency, ensuring that publishers uphold clear and honest representations of their content's origins and affiliations.
As noted by Gagan Ghotra, these policy shifts highlight the ongoing need for vigilance in content creation practices, urging creators to comply with revised standards around content representation.
