Google’s AI search overhaul decimates website traffic

 In a dramatic shift that has left many independent website owners reeling, Google's introduction of AI-generated answers and recent search algorithm changes has caused a significant decline in website traffic. According to a Bloomberg investigation, many publishers are reporting traffic drops of 70% or more, disrupting the long-standing relationship between Google and content creators. This crisis has forced numerous small businesses to either shut down or completely reinvent their distribution strategies. 

n March 2024, Morgan McBride, owner of the do-it-yourself home improvement site Charleston Crafted, posed for a Google ad campaign celebrating the search engine's role in her business's growth. Just weeks later, traffic from Google to her site plummeted by more than 70%. McBride, who had weathered algorithm changes before, found this time to be different. "You can't just sit around waiting for things to turn around," she told Bloomberg. In the year since the traffic collapse, display advertising revenue on her site dropped by 65%, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in lost income.....<<<Read More>>>...

Google’s quantum leap: Willow chip pushes boundaries of computing power

 In a groundbreaking development that could redefine the future of computing, Google has unveiled its latest quantum computing chip, dubbed "Willow." This state-of-the-art processor represents a monumental leap forward in the field of quantum computing, achieving feats that were previously thought to be decades away.

Willow, a 105-qubit quantum processor, has demonstrated the ability to solve a problem in just five minutes that would take the world's fastest supercomputers an astonishing 10 septillion years. This mind-boggling performance underscores the immense potential of quantum computing, which harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations far beyond the capabilities of classical computers.

One of the most significant achievements of Willow is its ability to reduce errors exponentially as the number of qubits increases. This breakthrough, known as "below threshold," was first proposed by computer scientist Peter Shor in 1995 and has been a major obstacle in the development of practical quantum computers. By achieving this milestone, Google has effectively reversed the trend of increasing errors with more qubits, paving the way for scalable and reliable quantum systems....<<<Read More>>>...

Google plans to charge users for new “premium” search features powered by AI

Google is planning to charge users for new "premium" features run by artificial intelligence (AI), marking the first time that the Big Tech company would be putting services behind a paywall.

The tech giant is mulling options such as adding certain AI search features to its premium subscription services. Engineers are developing the technology to roll out the service, but company executives haven't decided when to launch the proposal. But early reports indicate that Google's ubiquitous search engine would continue to be free and ads would appear alongside search results even to subscribers.

"For years we've been reinventing Search to help people access information in the way that's most natural to them," said one Google spokesperson. "With our generative AI experiments in Search, we've already served billions of queries and we're seeing positive Search query growth in all our major markets."

“We're continuing to rapidly improve the product to serve new user needs,” the spokesperson continued. "We're not working on or considering an ad-free search experience. As we've done many times before, we’ll continue to build new premium capabilities and services to enhance our subscription offerings across Google."...<<<Read More>>>...

Break up Google

[Creators]: Google has reached a level of monopolization that needs to be taken seriously as a threat to freedom, the free exchange of ideas and political diversity.

Follow along with the logic of your average "woke" Google employee. These employees have been openly arguing for a few years now that Google needs a diverse array of employees shaping Google's algorithms, or Google will only present to consumers certain information that might exclude diverse views or information.

Concurrently, these same employees have argued that Google need not entertain conservative thoughts or ideas. It was not that long ago that Google employees revolted at the idea of Kay Cole James, a black female and president of the Heritage Foundation, sitting on a Google advisory board designed to ensure diversity in Google's artificial intelligence practices.

Google's employees want diversity, but not ideological diversity. They believe diversity is needed to shape access to information through Google, but they want to deny any ideological diversity in the process of shaping.

Google controls over 90% of search engine activity. With a "diverse" group of people who lack intellectual diversity, Google can restrict access to information that offends its hired gatekeepers. Google controls over 70% of the market share of advertising online. Over the years, Google has bought up major competitors and then leveraged its dominance to both grow its ad business and hurt its competitors...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Google — A Dictator Unlike Anything the World Has Ever Known

[Mercola.com]: Google's powers pose three specific threats to society:

1. They're a surveillance agency with significant yet hidden surveillance powers. As noted by Epstein:

"The search engine … Google Wallet, Google Docs, Google Drive, YouTube, these are surveillance platforms. In other words, from their perspective, the value these tools have is they give them more information about you. Surveillance is what they do."

2. They're a censoring agency with the ability to restrict or block access to websites across the internet, thus deciding what people can and cannot see. They even have the ability to block access to entire countries and the internet as a whole.

The most crushing problem with this kind of internet censorship is that you don't know what you don't know. If a certain type of information is removed from search, and you don't know it should exist somewhere, you'll never go looking for it. And, when searching for information online, how would you know that certain websites or pages have been removed from the search results in the first place? The answer is, you don't.

For example, Google has been investing in DNA repositories for quite a long time, and are adding DNA information to our profiles. According to Epstein, Google has taken over the national DNA repository, but articles about that — which he has cited in his own writings — have all vanished.

3. They have the power to manipulate public opinion through search rankings and other means.

"To me, that's the scariest area," Epstein says, "because Google is shaping the opinions, thinking, beliefs, attitudes, purchases and votes of billions of people around the world without anyone knowing that they're doing so … and perhaps even more shocking, without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace.

They're using new techniques of manipulation that have never existed before in human history and they are for the most part, subliminal … but they don't produce tiny shifts.

They produce enormous shifts in people's thinking, very rapidly. Some of the techniques I've discovered are among the largest behavioral effects ever discovered in the behavioral sciences."

While surveillance is Google's primary business, their revenue — which exceeds $130 billion a year — comes almost exclusively from advertising. All that personal information you've provided them through their various products is sold to advertisers looking for a specific target audience...<<<Read The Full Shocking Article Here>>>...

Investigation finds Google ‘blacklists’ entire sites from search results

[Natural News]: Google makes many claims about its search engine. The results are not curated, they are not manipulated, and there is no blacklist of sites, says the company.

However, none of these statements are true, according to an extensive investigation from The Wall Street Journal. It appears “Google keeps blacklists,” the engineers manually make “algorithmic changes,” including making “behind-the-scenes adjustments” to results on the search pages, and Google “boosts some major websites” over other smaller websites. The Journal writes that these actions “have increased sharply since the 2016 election.” Google made 3,200 changes to its algorithms in 2018, an increase from 500 in 2010.

Engineers change all the other parts of Google search results regularly, including “knowledge panels,” “featured snippets,” and news results. Admittedly, these are not part of the basic search result algorithm. But they affect search results all the same.

Google also “keeps blacklists,” reported The Journal, which in the United States include sites that feature child abuse or spam. But the company would never publicly admit to this. In fact, a Google spokesperson told the Journal, “We do today what we have done all along, provide relevant results from the most reliable sources available.” There is a blacklist of terms from the auto-complete function that initially simply left out terms that related to pornography. The current list of terms is not known...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Whistleblower Breaks Down How Google Set Out to Literally Program Our Minds

[Waking Times]: Google’s beginnings start in Room 380 of the Gates building on the Stanford campus. It was there that founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page (described as ‘nice guys’) aimed to find relevant information on the Internet, by rapidly downloading, indexing, and searching the entire Internet using low-cost personal computers. It was 1998, and they had their eyes on out-searching Altavista.

The New Yorker soon described Google as “the search engine of the digital in-crowd.” And then Time Digital stated that the search engine “was to its competitors what a laser is to a blunt stick.”

In just over two decades Google: became a verb, became the biggest search engine on the planet, developed tons of pervasive products, joined forces with China and adopted their communist ways, and morphed into a drug company.

Google is now a weaponized mind control tool that spreads disinformation while censoring the truth.

This may sound too horrifying to believe. Especially since their updates and changes have been audaciously sold under the guise of safety and protection, a common fallacy spread in the world of Big Industry. But even employees who arguably “aren’t thinking straight” have gobbled it up, hook, line, and sinker...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Google is a direct threat to human freedom, and it must be dismantled or we will be forever enslaved

[Natural News]: Google is not just a danger to human freedom in the online world; it’s a danger to all human freedom because the ability to control information is the ability to control minds and enslave humankind.

Through its actions to destroy human knowledge, blacklist natural health websites, alter the outcomes of elections, silence conservative speech, push toxic vaccines onto children, promote the prescription medications of Big Pharma, censor organics and push deadly chemotherapy, Google has proven it is a threat to humankind and must be dismantled.

Now more powerful than any government in the world, Google is a dangerous surveillance web that tracks your online searches, website visits, video views, online purchases, emails and physical locations. Beyond that, Google deliberately blocks independent media, conservative channels, vaccine safety videos and anyone who questions GMOs, Big Pharma, chemtrails or 5G networks.

Google has become pure evil, and it must be dismantled and permanently barred from all business operations. It’s time to rid the world of this evil, and President Trump can start by arresting Google’s top managers and CEO, all of whom have actively conspired to commit large-scale criminal election fraud against the United States of America (among other crimes)...read more>>>...

Google’s File on You Is 10 Times Bigger Than Facebooks

[Waking Times]: With all the attention paid to Facebook in recent weeks over ‘data breaches’ and privacy violations (even though what happened with Cambridge Analytica is part of their standard business model), it’s easy to forget that there are four other Big Tech corporations collecting just as much — if not more — of our personal info. Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are all central players in “surveillance capitalism” and prey on our data.

New reports suggest that Google may actually harvest ten times as much as Facebook.

Like Facebook, Google gathers your info for sale to 3rd-party advertisers, including your name, email address, telephone number, credit card, specific ways you use Google’s services, your mode of interaction with any website that uses Google technology (such as AdWords), your device, and your search queries.

And if you don’t enter your account and make adjustments, pretty much anything you do online while deploying a Google tool is tracked. Google’s policy states:

“If other users already have your email, or other information that identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible Google Profile information, such as your name and photo.”...read more>>>...

Google to block all anti-cancer, “anti-vax” and anti-GMO websites at the browser level as tech giant goes all-in with pharma drug cartels

[Natural News]: By late 2020, Google’s Chrome browser will automatically block all so-called anti-cancer, “anti-vax” and anti-GMO websites as part of Google’s collapse into a Monsanto/Pharma criminal cartel.

Users who want to visit websites that expose the scientifically-validated risks and potential harm of vaccines, chemotherapy, glyphosate or GMOs will have to switch to alternative browsers and search engines, since the Google.com search engine is already in the process of eliminating all such websites from its search results....read more>>>...

Every employee of Google is complicit in carrying out crimes against humanity (and coordinated online “book burning” to annihilate human knowledge)

[Natural News]: As we witness the shocking depths of criminality and evil being carried out by Google and its censorship agenda, it’s crucial to remember that every Google employee is complicit in carrying out these crimes against humanity.

These people are not just “following orders” like the East German soldiers manning the Berlin Wall. They are actively complicit in Google’s massive criminal schemes to interfere in U.S. elections and silence many of the most important independent voices and journalists of our time.

Google’s employees actively participate in these schemes, promoting them, engineering them and advocating for them. When caught on camera speaking their “truth” in what they believe to be private conversations, they casually brag about how they are controlling people’s minds and altering elections through devious interventions in search results and search suggestions. These people are fascists through and through. It is their philosophy to suppress others so that their own malicious agendas may be fulfilled by hook or by crook...read more>>>...

Google buries Mercola.com search results in escalating attack on all independent health, nutrition and vaccine information

[Natural News]: Yet another wildly popular source of science-based news and information about natural health, Mercola.com, has been targeted for elimination by the corrupt, Big Tech deep state.

Google, which recently implemented another one of its “broad core” search engine updates, has decided to arbitrarily remove Mercola.com from its search results – for no other reason than the fact that Mercola.com bravely tells the politically-incorrect truth about things like genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and vaccines....read more>>>...

Less Than 30

Our visitor stats have SIGNIFICANTLY FALLEN again in another week. So now, we have less than 30 people visiting each post on a daily basis! A year ago, our daily visitor's per post were in the region of 125 - 250!

A BIG thanks must be extended to Google and it's lousy search engine algorithms. You are responsible for destroying the popularity of not only our blog, but numerous other blogs elsewhere on the net.

I doubt you will be proud of yourselves, as its part and parcel of taking personal freedoms away from human beings.

How Recent Google Algorithm change will affect Blogger and user

[How To Connect]: A Few Words about Google Search Algorithms – Terms ‘Algorithms‘ can be defined simply as an effective method which is used to solve any questions on the basis of rules of Mathematics and Computer Science. It is needless to say that method is very much involved in every sphere of computation.

Now, Google has made announcement that exercise of searching web content with exact result could be not longer act. At present, when we search anything thousand of related results will be displayed in a few seconds. Because of millions of websites are using platform of World Wide Web (www) and put their ideas on the same issue. In this way, few one take easy way and use pirated matter into their web page from authentic site. More and more complaint regard this came in under consideration of Google.

To avoid unnecessary search and address Piracy issue at the same time a mechanism is developed by Google this time round. This mechanism gives freedom to worldwide user to find out exact results in no time and also protect the interest of author under the rule of Copyright. Long awaited demand of Industry like Music, Film, Technology and others to be addressed through this searching manual. Offenders will be always under scanner and they will be traced out quickly and consequently lost their current Google ranking....read more>>>....

Paul Haahr: Google’s Minister of Propaganda censors the truth about vaccines, cancer cures, natural medicine and more

[Natural News]: Much of the attention as it pertains to scrutinizing the ongoing Google censorship conspiracy is focused on the search engine giant’s blatant targeting and removal of conservative web content. 

But what about all the websites dedicated to spreading the truth about vaccines, cancer cures, natural medicine, and other health-related topics that have also been targeted and removed from Google’s search results?

Following the recent revelation that Google has been secretly censoring web content for quite some time now, despite claims to the contrary, many are now calling for Google CEO Sundar Pichai and his fellow cronies to be held criminally liable – one of these cronies being Paul Haahr, a Google software engineer who, as we recently reported, played a key role in getting Natural News temporarily censored from Google’s search results back in 2017.

As explained by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, Haahr actually made a personal commitment to basically target and flag all “science [and] medical denial” in Google’s search results, as well as anything that he personally regards as constituting a “conspiracy theory.” This means that websites warning readers that the government covered up and even destroyed data showing that the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is dangerous and ineffective, for instance, will more than likely get caught in Google’s censorship net, thanks to Haahr’s work towards this end behind the scenes.

“Ironically, Paul Haahr is himself carrying out a conspiracy to silence the truth about medicine, vaccines, cancer cures and natural health, yet part of his job is to censor ‘conspiracy theories,'” writes Adams....read more>>>...

Google partners with China to dominate the world with online tyranny, censorship and communism agendas

Natural News: Just when you thought Google couldn’t possibly get any scarier, The Intercept is reporting that the company is still working in secret on the controversial Chinese search app it claimed to have abandoned last year.

The search app, which has the code name “Project Dragonfly,” is still very much alive, even though the company claimed last December that it was not planning to launch it after all in the wake of widespread condemnation.

The search platform is designed to blacklist information the Chinese government doesn’t want its people to see about topics like democracy, human rights, peaceful protests, and religion. It will also link the searches people carry out to their phone numbers so the government can keep tabs on them. Some of the terms that would be blocked include “human rights,” “Nobel prize” and “student protest.”

Right now, Google’s search service can’t be used by most Chinese internet users because the communist country’s “Great Firewall” has blocked it. The new app will adhere to the strict Chinese censorship laws; the government blocks its people from reading information online about news, academic studies, political opponents and sex, among other topics. Many popular Western news and social media sites are also censored, such as the Wall Street Journal, the BBC, the New York Times, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram....read more>>>...

ANALYSIS: Google is the ENEMY of humanity and must be destroyed, or human freedom dies forever

Natural News: It’s the “mind” behind hundreds of millions of people’s mobile phones, email accounts, and search engine of choice. But the Google empire is anything but benevolent – and if it isn’t extinguished from the planet very soon, warns Dave Hodges from The Common Sense Show, then we can all kiss our collective future goodbye.

That’s because if Google gets its way, everyone on the planet will be monitored, tracked, and controlled by the New World Order Google overlords who, like they’re currently doing in China, plan to persecute and destroy all dissenters here in the United States who dare to buck the established status quo.

Right now, more than 98 percent of mainstream media outlets the world over are controlled by just six people. And all of these people, says Hodges, are Leftists who hate average Americans, as well as America itself and everything for which this country stands...read more>>>...

Google is so evil, its own employees are walking out and protesting the tech giant

Natural News: The year of 2018 has been a contentious one for Google Inc. Whether it’s claims of sexual abuse from senior leadership, the covering-up of sexual abuse within senior leadership, or employees walking out in mass protest, Google has become fraught with moral and ethical dilemmas.

Not only have leaked videos uncovered Google’s political bias, but the evidence of algorithmic censorship of conservative sites is mounting. In 2018, Google employees spoke out against the company’s plan to work with the Pentagon to use artificial intelligence to enhance weaponry, and over a thousand employees have either quit or written in protest against the tech giant’s clandestine censorship project in China.

With no standards to adhere to, Google’s unchecked power becomes an evil, unaccountable force. The simplest advice for consumers is to avoid Google, but every aspect of society is infiltrated by Google products. Whether it’s a video streaming service (YouTube), a free email service (Gmail), a listening device (Google Home), the need for a comprehensive search engine, or a cell phone operating system (Android), Google is interwoven into the very fabric of a tech-driven society. Therefore, the lack of oversight for an unaccountable tech monopoly ultimately impacts everyone in modern society....read more>>>...

Ghost Banning on Social Media – the start of systematic censorship

We are told it is called “ghost banning” – meaning you are present, though invisible in plain sight, and the user is completely unaware. The goal is frighteningly obvious: deny an “offending” website traffic to the point that it disappears from public view.

This is the new business model of the old art of controlling what is considered acceptable speech by the power-that-be. As a result, legacy news outlets that comprise of the world of corporate mainstream media are propped, crowding out alternative views and dissent. Freedom of speech faces an existential threat...READ MORE>>>...
