Google has updated its Google Maps contributor fake engagement policy to flesh out in more detail how the policy works. The new text is like 40% longer and seems to have received a nice refresh.

Google updated the text later last week of just this section, the fake engagement section, I believe.

Here is what it reads now:

Google Maps False Engagement New

Here is the old version:

Google Maps False Engagement Old

Any big takeaways from the differences here?
