I don’t have any proof. I’m just taking it as a given that this is what they’re doing because those sites are still engaging in cloaking despite Google making it clear they have a policy against cloaking.

Is their cloaking policy still active? Felt like they enforced it at the beginning, but when big sites started using the same dark patterns, they stopped? If it’s an official policy still, would love to hear why they selectively enforce it.
