Gate News message, April 12: A Polymarket prediction link briefly appeared in Google News search results, alongside major media outlets such as Reuters and The Guardian, but was quickly removed afterward. A Google spokesperson responded that the platform appeared in Google News due to an “error,” and said, “The site no longer appears in the news section.” Previously, when users searched for event-driven prediction questions (such as “Whether ships will pass through the Strait of Hormuz”), Polymarket’s prediction market listings would appear directly below traditional news outlets.
Polymarket and its competitor, a certain prediction market platform, have recently been actively working to integrate media with platforms. Google reached partnerships with two platforms last year, enabling its data to be pulled into the Google Finance finance section. In addition, in June last year, the X platform announced Polymarket as its official prediction market partnership. Crypto wallets MetaMask and World App, under World, also followed suit and integrated the Polymarket app.
