Google's live broadcast event schema with supportive content should get you that red live badge in the top stories section of Google. But there are complaints about indexing issues this morning through the Indexing API causing issues with that.

As a reminder, we just covered this morning that many abuse the Google Indexing API. I find it interesting this warning came days before these issues?

There are also a number of complaints in the Black Hat World forums.

Forum discussion at X and Black Hat World.
