I was reading this question. Let's say i have a div with something useful for users but i don't want it to be considered by Google. If i put this on an iframe and block the googlebot with robots.txt so it won't read it. Would i be penalized?

Did google ever clarified it? Or maybe from experience someone can confirm it's alright to do, or not?

    Mine is a disqus recent comments widget not moderated and often things i don't want pop up in there and end up indexed. I need to stop it. I'm gonna try the noindex method on iframe. I hope it works. – Michael Rogers Feb 26 '19 at 22:59

No your site will not penalize by search engine as many of the website also used such techniques or code where crawler are not able to crawl the area of the web page. It is not the reason to penalize the Site or page.
