Question is, what's it doing when you use client software that doesn't support the spammy popups? It appears that for a third party client user, it auto-injected URLs the sender didn't expect or even see. So someone creating a Zoom invite had no idea their coworkers might see a Meet link.

Also, Google could/should recognize that a meeting invite with a competitor's room URL in it is somewhere it shouldn't inject its own. Especially since it opens up yet another avenue for an open and shut anticompetitive case against them.



Blacklisting some competitor URL's is discriminatory against smaller competitors or people's on-site solutions at private URLs


The parent didn't say to blacklist the competitor but rather to not inject googles own when a competitors URL was already in the invite.
