We work tirelessly in an endless battle against spammers to make Search great for users. We do this fairly, consistently, and transparently. Unsurprisingly, companies that benefit from Search manipulation don’t like our anti-spam efforts – and complain about it. But what’s surprising (and disappointing) is seeing complaints like these legitimized by the misguided investigation announced today, which would make Search worse for users and high-quality sites.
blog.google/inside-google/co…
NEW: The European Commission announced today a new investigation against Google under the EU’s Digital Markets Act. The investigation targets Google’s anti-spam policy, alleging Google is discriminating against spammy content in a way that violates the DMA.

Very excited about this week’s AI Mode model update. We’re seeing big improvements for complex STEM questions– great for students heading back to school. Overall responses should also be tighter, easier to scan and get to the point up front before elaborating.
