It wasn't even by Google though, right? This looks like it was by Extinction Rebellion. I can't imagine the legal team at Google ever approving something like this.
Sorry, I was super unclear there. This was not Google.
However, Google also sometimes has done their own April Fools bits, and historically Google has been big part of April Fools hijinks. So I did mention them as a company that does these, and I did post this which is impersonating Google as an april fools prank, but yeah, this particular one was not at all carried out by Google.
