Incident #E139E4 · 30 JUL 2026minor
Blogger terms add network cost responsibility and drop the professional-advice disclaimer
A new clause makes users responsible for mobile and network data costs from background Internet use by Google services, including for updates, service improvement and advertising. The disclaimer telling users not to rely on the services for medical, legal or financial advice was removed. The business liability clause now begins with an exception referring to the 'For all users' section.
Taken from you
- Users are responsible for all network and data costs from Google services using the Internet in the background
- Background data use may count against the user's data allowance, including for advertising-related purposes
Won back
- Google no longer states that users shouldn't rely on the services for professional advice (a lost disclaimer, little practical effect on users)
