Google’s Recent Decision
In a surprising move, Google has opted not to provide publishers with options regarding their data in AI search functionalities. This decision came to light through a document from Chetna Bindra, a product management executive at Google Search. The lack of a public announcement regarding this change raises questions about transparency and the relationship between Google and content creators.
Many publishers are left wondering how this will impact their visibility and revenue. The decision to silently update their approach without consulting or informing content creators is concerning. Publishers play a significant role in the online ecosystem, and their insights and needs should be considered, especially when significant changes like this occur.
