- kjhughes 14y agoPerhaps, but besides Google agreeing to provide reasonable access to those Motorola wireless patents that are standards based, other highlights include: 1. The FTC found little or no evidence of search bias toward Google's own products; 2. Google agreed to refrain from scraping content such as restaurant reviews; 3. Google agreed not to penalize websites in search rankings if the site opts out of Google's verticals (e.g. shopping); 4. Google agreed to give advertisers more flexible access to its AdWords platform.
