> Google hired radio DJs to record and broadcast detailed testimonials about their personal experiences with the Pixel 4, but Google refused to provide the DJs with a phone for them to use.

So they couldn’t give personal recommendations because they hadn’t used the product in question - what punishment are the radio DJs facing I wonder?
