Google Search rests on a social contract: their bots can crawl our sites, they can index our sites, and they can show excerpts of our sites because

and •only because•

they send people to our sites. •Our• sites, our words, with our design, with our links, with our context and our aesthetics, shared the way we want to share them.

Google is announcing — unambiguously and with great fanfare — that they are now fully breaking that already-ragged contract. We should reciprocate.

Go after the wealth of the billionaires & oil oligarchs funding Google's #Enshittification

@datarama @inthehands it’s going to be death to believers and unbelievers if they keep getting their way.

True. The elites don't reward loyalty, unless they think they can get something out of it in the future. Once they can no longer extract anything more from you, they immediately throw you to the wolves.
