Google mistakenly included language in its Team Pixel sign-up form requiring signees to feature its hardware exclusively. This has raised concerns over content creator independence.
Engadget clarifies that its review agreements do not contain such stipulations and that the practice of requiring positive reviews in exchange for access is not standard.
A Google communications manager stated that the #TeamPixel program is separate from press and creator review programs and acknowledged the error in the language used.
The controversy surrounding Google's form has led to discussions on the implications for content creators, including whether they’ll have the opportunity to reapply after declining.
