Google is testing a new feature to replace all those copy-and-paste emoji websites. You know, when you want to know what an emoji is for a specific emotion and you go to Google and it brings up websites that have the emojis and you can click copy to your clipboard... Well, Google is doing that right in search.
Instead of sending you to the website in question and monetizing the creator thereof, GOOG has implemented yet another way to directly and blatantly steal the content from the creator.
Their AI and their quick answers, like taking Wikipedia articles, definitely steals content from creators.
But is this stealing content from creators? Or does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions?
If it’s the latter then I say it’s fine. That’s like complaining Duckduckgo’s search result of a calculator takes away views from calculator.com. Calculator.com and emojipedia.org don’t own the patent to online calculators or description of emojis with a copy function.
They have the code built in to their keyboard and their messaging app just in case you switch keyboards.
It would be easier looking in to their own internal company files or databases than to parse information from a website even if they are really good at that.
So…

Don’t be Evil is such a laugh-riot these days.
Fuck Google and everything that’s theirs.
Those websites didn’t create the emojis.
They’re still monetizing off the website that GOOG has now rescinded the need to visit…
Whether they are the actual creator or not is irrelevant.
It’s the theft of monetization that is relevant.

Betting they don’t. They don’t need to if they can successfully steal from other sites.
They have the code built in to their keyboard and their messaging app just in case you switch keyboards.
