Google quietly removed one of the most powerful free tools everyday people had to protect themselves: reverse image search. It helped users spot fake profiles, recognize romance scams, and confirm when something wasn’t right. So why would they take it away?

Because awareness costs clicks.

In this bonus episode, we dig into how Big Tech profits from your engagement — even when that engagement leads you into the hands of scammers. We expose why tools that empower users get buried, how platforms benefit from deception, and what happens when protecting profits matters more than protecting people.

“Your attention is more valuable to them than your safety.”

This isn’t just a rant. It’s a warning.
