Any good summaries about what was revealed in the leak?

  The main takeaway for me is that Google is caught lying. Many things were already assumed but Google used to deny them. - They claimed that clicks were not a ranking factor, it turns out it is. - Also turns out that they are using Chrome data for ranking purposes (Not good for the ongoing lawsuit) - There is also a field called something like "is small personal site" and it presumed that those sites are penalized.

    didn’t they just leak the schema? we know they may be tracking that information but we don’t know how it affects the model

      Would they track the data if they haven't been using it, or didn't expect to use it in the future?

        It is hard to delete protobuf fields.

        Didn't they just say they're not using it currently?
