Google will not prank its users this April Fools' Day, here's why

Google has a tradition of coming up with new pranks every year on April 1 since the year 2000. It was one of the first tech companies to popularise April Fools' pranks on internet users. The tech giant has informed its managers across company platforms that it will abstain from participating in its annual ritual of cracking April Fools jokes and fooling its users. "Our highest goal right now is to be helpful to people, so let’s save the jokes for next April, which will undoubtedly be a whole lot brighter than this one."
