Talking Google penalizes Google!

Great story if you haven't seen it.

Google got caught red handed doing paid links for its Chrome Browser download page, breaking its own T&C's, so demoted it's PageRank to 0 for 60 days

Matt Cutts (Googles SEO Public face) said that after the penalty period, Chrome's download page could be returned to its search good graces. "Someone on the Chrome side can submit a reconsideration request documenting their cleanup just like any other company would," Cutts said.

Guess that answers the question, who polices the police, it's the police

That's just bizarre. How could that even happen?

Also, 60 days doesn't sound very long. If it was another site busted just wondering how long the 0 page rank would be imposed for?

I don't think Chrome needs a lot ranking because millions of people are
already using it and it is expected to grow exponentially.

Ridiculous story, 60 days ! If it was another company god knows how the overlords at Google would of punished them !

Seems like a case of teacher giving the star pupil a tiny slap on the wrist whilst the rest of the class gets caned.
