Google must restore every manipulation: I will publish all findings today

 

Google has intentionally disabled the blog's pageviews widget to hide the performance of the blog

For more than a decade, independent journalists and bloggers have relied on Google’s Blogger platform to publish stories, track readership, and measure impact. Pageview statistics are not a luxury—they are a fundamental tool for transparency, credibility, and audience engagement.

 

When Google suddenly disables this feature without warning, explanation, or a timeline for restoration, it does more than inconvenience writers. It undermines trust, silences independent voices, and disrupts the work of journalists who depend on accurate analytics to demonstrate reach and relevance.

 

As an African journalist living in Europe, I have spent years documenting injustices, exposing discrimination, and giving a voice to communities that mainstream media often ignores. My work depends on visibility. When Google disables pageviews, it directly affects my ability to show the world that these stories matter and that people are reading them.

 

A Silent Form of Censorship

 

Google may not call it censorship, but the effect is the same. When a platform removes a critical tool that helps journalists measure their audience, it weakens their influence. Pageviews are more than numbers — they are evidence. They help writers:

•             Demonstrate readership to advocacy organizations

•             Track which topics resonate with the public

•             Build credibility with partners and institutions

•             Protect their work from being dismissed or erased

Without pageviews, independent journalists are left in the dark. It becomes easier for powerful institutions to ignore or undermine their work.

 

A Call for Transparency and Accountability

 

Google owes its users—especially journalists, activists, and marginalized voices—a clear explanation. Why were pageviews disabled? Why is there no communication? Why is there no timeline for restoration?

A company that controls such a large portion of the world’s information ecosystem has a responsibility to act transparently. Silence is unacceptable.

The Impact on African Journalists in the Diaspora

For African writers in Europe, visibility is already a struggle. Our stories are often sidelined, our experiences minimized, and our voices questioned. Pageviews help prove that our work resonates globally. They show that people care about the injustices we expose.

When Google removes this tool, it disproportionately harms those who are already fighting to be heard.

 

Google Must Act Now

 

Restoring pageviews is not a technical favor — it is a matter of fairness, transparency, and respect for the global community of independent journalists who rely on Blogger.

Google must:

•             Restore the pageview feature immediately

•             Provide a public explanation for the disruption

•             Commit to transparency in future platform changes

Independent journalism is already under pressure from censorship, discrimination, and shrinking media spaces. Tech giants should not add to that burden.

My honest suggestion to Google about the articles on my blog

 

Worldwide, thousands of people are losing interest in Google.

Google has long been the primary search engine used by millions of people, but an increasing number of people are noticing that the quality of search results is progressively decreasing. The search function is becoming less useful, and journalists, SEO experts, and regular users are complaining that Google is increasingly promoting its services and advertisements rather than providing objective information.

 

People need to work to support themselves and eat to survive, and for their businesses to succeed, practically everyone relies on Google search engine optimization for increased visibility. Google has established guidelines, including search engine optimization guidelines, for its users to adhere to to rank highly in search results. Nevertheless, you may follow all of these guidelines and still obtain a small percentage of daily visitors.

 

When you encounter these issues, it's not because your content is poor; rather, the search engine firm views a lot of topics as inappropriate or unfavorable in terms of business, since it impacts their advertising business. You must realize that you will be subjected to the oppression and suppression by the search engine if you have produced articles that Google views as unfriendly for business.

 

That's the issue I'm having right now. To protect the US government, the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, and businesses’ adverts, Google finds hundreds of my articles unfriendly. This has not only affected the search engine optimization rank but has also reduced the blog's page views from thousands to hundreds.

 

As the criticism against Google mounts, the search engine company has failed to alter its approach. Since there aren't any fierce rivals in the market, the business can afford to put its own interests ahead of search quality. As a result, there is a growing need for alternative search tools. Although I will always do my best to abide by Google's guidelines, I have the best recommendation for them.

 

It doesn't make sense for the search engine company to purposefully deprive my blog of readers. If there are articles on my blog about their immoralities, abuse of office, or unsuitability for business adverts that they don't want readers to read, they can exclude them from their search engine and index the URLs of the articles they find appropriate for business. This is the best suggestion I can give. 

A Letter Of Admonition To Sophie Wilmes, The Belgium Prime Minister

 

Sophie Wilmes, the current Belgian Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes, certain things are going on in the country, which I consider it necessary to let you know, since from the colonial era, the Belgian government has committed and supported so much crime to the extent that the government can no longer acknowledge what is a crime and what is not.

 

There are three great politicians I deeply respect in Belgium. They are the Mayor of Antwerp, Bart De Wever, the former Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel, and the current Health Minister, Maggie De Block.

 

Due to these politicians, whose hard work has transformed Belgium, I have to restrain myself to choose my words carefully over issues I seriously consider as a crime. There is no one above the law, yet in Belgium, many crimes are committed against black people with impunity.

 

Belgium is one of the European countries that has committed horrible crimes against black people in Africa, especially in its former colony of Congo. Surprisingly, at the end of the systematic abuse and crime against black people in Africa, the Belgian government extended it by building statues and naming streets after the perpetrator, King Leopold II.

 

In my opinion, Belgium should have been famous as the world’s best quality beers and chocolates producer, but the country is not known to have burned down the houses of villagers, killed over 10 million Africans, including women and children, to satisfy the greed of one monster called Leopold II.

 

People are educated not only to be leaders but also to find solutions to problems affecting our society, yet, like America, it seems Belgium has also taken delight in committing crimes against black people rather than finding solutions to ease racial tensions and violence around the world.

 

I have currently in Belgium for the past 20 years. Nobody told me that Belgium is a country that has no respect for black people. My experience as a black man and my efforts as a writer revealed a lot to me about how Belgium underestimates black people like the United States of America.

 

I want to make it clear to the Belgian government that having access to someone’s blog to remove all the articles I have written about the crimes your country and King Leopold II committed in Africa is not only a violation of my rights but a serious crime that needs to be addressed.

 

In fact, nothing favors a black man in Belgium, including the judicial system. If there is a unique law in Belgium, I would have taken a good lawyer to sue the government for illegally and criminally getting into my blog to remove published articles exposing your crimes in Africa, while you have a statue of the perpetrator in your country.

 

To the Belgian government, it is right to build a statue for a king, that did commit horrible crimes against humanity in Africa with impunity because the victims were black, but it's wrong for an African writer to write articles about the crimes Belgium committed in Africa, so the government or whoever has the right to take away my articles.

 

It’s even shameful for the Belgian government; instead of finding solutions to save the lives of people who have been sent to their untimely graves by the coronavirus, you had the time to go into a blog to remove my articles because they are nightmares to you.

 

This is not the first time the Belgium government has removed my published article from the web but this time, going into my blog to remove and edit links of my articles about Belgium and the royal family is a serious crime I will write about it because Belgium will definitely send me to jail if I commit such a crime by illegally gaining access into the government’s computer to delete something from it.

 

The Belgian government and the royal family can’t stand the truth, which reason they find my articles uncomfortable. Why can’t the government do the right thing by demolishing those senseless statues rather than declaring war on my articles? Why has the Belgian government and the royal family, for decades, seen that they are supporting crimes by building a statue for a killer rather than a king?

 

Stuivenberg Hospital

 

A couple of years ago, when I went to the notorious Stuivenberg Hospital in Antwerp to investigate the abnormally high death rate of black people in that hospital, the City of Antwerp called me a crazy man, but they didn’t call the Belgian government or the royal family crazy for building a statue for a criminal.

 

However, one thing the Belgian government can never deny is that after my investigation at the Stuivenberg, the hospital is now one of the safest hospitals in Antwerp. People think they have the power to do whatever wrong thing they like, but often forget that any wrong that they do will eventually come back to bite them in the rear, and you will never see it coming.

 

If my investigation wasn’t accurate, that Africans were deliberately killed and organs removed, why then, Mayor of Antwerp, Patrick Janssens, sent a group of police to protect the hospital for two weeks? Evildoers always run when nobody is after them. The police were there because the crime against Africans in that hospital was uncovered.

 

The Belgian government can underestimate me and continue to give me disrespect because I don’t need their respect, but please, the government or whoever is responsible must stop taking articles from my blog because it’s a crime.

 

They must put an end to it immediately because that’s not going to stop me from writing, and finally, all the articles the Belgian government or whoever is responsible has removed from my blog shall be rewritten or appear as new articles.
