I'm thrilled to announced Fortune's partnership with Parallel Web Systems. As AI agents increasingly become a primary interface for how people discover and use info, it's critical that trusted publishers are recognized for the value their reporting and insights contribute. Fortune's Parallel partnership represents an important step toward building a more transparent and sustainable relationship between AI systems and content creators.
We’re excited to be part of this effort and look forward to helping shape a future where genuinely useful information is fairly valued and sustainably monetized in the AI era.

Thanks to @lmoses for continuing to bring attention to Google’s monopolistic behavior. It’s astonishing that even the largest media companies are forced to comply with Google’s unilateral decisions on who they can hire to create content. With no real accountability, Google has effectively erased vast amounts of high-quality commerce content from reputable brands under the guise of "search purity" policy enforcement. When a single company controls a platform used by the vast majority of consumers and can effortlessly eliminate competition—while simultaneously benefiting financially from that reduced competition (guess who gets more traffic to their shopping ads?)—it raises serious antitrust concerns. Regulators must take a closer look at the outsized power Google wields over the digital economy and the broader implications for competition, innovation, and the sustainability of independent media. #DOJ #antitrust #GoogleMonopoly

Sharing this @WSJ article again about Google's commerce crackdown. Thanks to @alexbruell for the coverage of this important issue.

I want to thank the @WSJ and @BusinessInsider for their coverage of @Google's anticompetitive behavior. Google’s commerce crackdown reflects their desire for more control over the internet. They disapproved of publishers partnering with third parties to achieve high search rankings for commerce content. Our commerce content often outcompeted their own shopping content and paid ads. With a Thanos snap they eliminated us from the web.
We are well aware of the conflict of interest Google faced when implementing its spam policies last year. When publishers' commerce content was removed from search results, whose shopping content and ads received more engagement and revenue? Google’s, of course.
Outsourced commerce content (coupons and affiliate-driven articles) is now effectively banned from the internet. Even when working with talented freelancers and reputable third party businesses, publishers risk punitive action from Google. Who granted
Google the authority to dictate when and how businesses outsource their operations? Google is the de facto regulator of what content gets seen, how publishers can monetize, and which digital publishing business models are sustainable. This level of unchecked influence threatens the sustainability of independent digital publishing. It is imperative to address these concerns to ensure a more open and competitive digital ecosystem.

I was a feeling nostalgic… wanted to see how we shopped online when we were younger (~5 days ago), so I fired up #Bing. The #SERP for #coupons still include news publishers. Not to be outdone in the nostalgia dept, #Google shows #Groupon on nearly every single coupon search.
TIME has published #coupons for decades. Our audience trusts us to connect them with valuable offers (like the one I found below from a Nov. 16, 1953 issue). I hope our users will be allowed to discover our offers/deals content again when they search the internet. #Google#SEO
