Stand with us to keep the internet human

We are the creators, the entrepreneurs, the humans who built the best parts of the internet.

We create millions of jobs and inspire billions of people.

Our content helps people everywhere navigate their daily lives and become their best selves. We believe in innovation, and were it not for technology, we couldn’t do what we do best.

Now, big tech companies are using our content without permission or compensation to build AI tools that compete with us.

This isn’t progress; it’s a threat to our livelihoods and the human spirit of the internet.

Innovation in the name of growth and higher share prices won’t create better content. At least not the kind readers love, rely on, and come back to.

The future of the internet depends on us and the smart and ethical actions of key stakeholders. Specifically, we call on:

• Big tech platforms, to treat content creators as valuable partners
• Google, the defining internet pioneer, to innovate responsibly while still enabling creators to maintain website traffic and revenue
• Advertisers, to grow their spending with human-created websites that drive results for their businesses
• Readers, to support content creators by visiting their websites and sharing how their content has impacted their lives

Let’s keep the internet a place that values human creativity and trust.

Let’s keep it real.
