Google told the U.S. government this month that it would continue allowing sites like Yelp to opt out from having their data scraped and displayed in the tech giant’s search results.

Five years ago, Google agreed to cease that practice in order to settle a major antitrust investigation led by the Federal Trade Commission. But the limits on scraping would have expired on Dec. 27 if Google hadn’t decided on its own to preserve them.
