Is Google stealing content?

Does Google work legally?

Have you also noticed that Google generates ready-made answers these days? As far as I know, Google is a search engine that gets its content from websites. Google itself, has NO content, whatsoever!

If you want to know something now, Google will answer you immediately. Without having to visit a particular website. These answers do not contain any link.

Google website snippets

Google also supplies snippets, where the answer is provided from certain websites. But who is clicking through to a website when they already have the answer?

In fact, Google works against the website owner.

The website owner is missing out on advertisement fee.Very useful for the searcher, you get your answer within a few seconds, but very harmful to the income of the content writers of a website.

Are we writing for Google?

The creator of the content on the website in question actually is writing content for Google, because they are showing the answer to the requestor, without permission of the content writer. And without any need to click through.
