So. Google is changing the page titles listed in their search results because they believe it can provide more traffic.

Users have no indication the title is not the original one. If Google rewrites a title to something stupid, it will be credited to the site, not Google.

Google is violating the site’s copyright by doing so. It’s an immense breach in the remaining trust users may have in this search engine.

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

At least for now, Google still respects the robots.txt for its search engine.

I never expected to be saying this, but I'm begining to wonder if it's possible to block Google from listing your website...

I wish more people who walk away from Google. It's not like there aren't alternatives to search either. Not enough humans are even awake to what's going on.]]>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://social.ewenbell.com/objects/36c4ff9e-9eac-4ca2-afcd-173ca1a5bf6bhttps://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://social.ewenbell.com/objects/36c4ff9e-9eac-4ca2-afcd-173ca1a5bf6bMon, 23 Mar 2026 06:50:32 GMT
