Dear Friends,

​

Today, Google has pulled off what SEO Matt Gibbs has called "The Greatest Copyright Heist in History".

​

With the rollout of SGE, Google will know give you answers to your queries based on "AI" aka lifted straight from small publishers, writers and entities (like myself) and present it to you without giving the credit or the money to the creator who wrote, researched and published it.

​

Well, this has been and will be catastrophic to all the creators you love or hate. Small publishers depend on ad revenue from different web sources to continue creating content that you read, watch, and enjoy. Without these clicks, many small websites will have to fire staff, lay off editors, and possibly close down entirely.

​

BUT THAT IS NOT ALL...

​

AI and SGE are notoriously inaccurate, feeding you answers that are incorrect, out of context, and sometimes straight-up harmful. Please be aware that when you search for something, the answers you get may be entirely incorrect.

​

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

​

The first thing you can do is switch to another search engine to conduct your queries. Engines such as Ecosia do not do this and actually will send you results that will give you what you need. Let's break Google's monopoly by using their small competitors instead.

​

The second thing you can do is to keep sharing the inaccurate information you receive from Google as dangerous and incorrect. If you see an answer that is clearly wrong, share it so that you can warn others about the dangers of SGE.

​

The third thing is entirely personal. If you enjoy the content that I put out, please follow me on social media, watch my videos, visit my site, and click on my emails. This will help my team, and I continue to give you the content that you want without being dependent on Google.

​

You can also follow me on Newsbreak and Flipboard. ​

​

Feel free to share this, and let's get the word out!
