That "disclaimer" is definitely official; I don't do unofficial posts. Employees of any Alliance member company, including Google, are not and were not eligible for the Challenge. As you point out, the rules clearly state that anyone who is an employee of one the Alliance member companies at any time during the Challenge is not eligible. I am not familiar with the Facebook group and I don't know how it's run, so I can't comment on that, but as I said in the post you cited, no one in the public has devices, and no one received any assistance with their applications. Either would be considered unequal support and would have disqualified them from the Challenge.
