I'm pretty sure they're enforcing an existing rule, it's just that people weren't aware that urls booked from the Google Search app would get stored somewhere else that was sharable, and ended up getting flagged.
It doesn't seem like something sinister from Google, but rather poor planning when developing how links get saved. As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with your Chrome Browser bookmarks or anything, but a different system that most people are either not using, or are unknowingly using.
This really could be fixed by only enforcing this policy on infringing collections content that is shared. As an example, you can still upload movies and TV shows to Google Drive without consequence, it's only when you share those files that Google might intervene.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoWhy do you think this was an preexisting rule? The fact that no one expected this behavior weighs somewhat in the other direction.
