Has anyone noticed how it has become more difficult to find images on the Internet lately. Used to you could search Google and a page could be found, you'd click on the image, then you'd be able to get the direct link to the graphic online. Well I'm finding this to be a lot more difficult lately and have noticed a few trends: (1) a lot more of the images are indicated to be "pay" images that you can't use without paying for them as in iStock or Shutterstock, (2) articles are being published as pdf or in similar fashion where you aren't able to copy the image, and (3) many photos you used to be able to access about certain public figures don't seem to be online anymore.
Now I don't know if this is because Google changed up the indexing method or entered in a profitable agreement with the *Stock image companies which are all owned by Getty Images who have become shakedown artists claiming they own every image on the Internet then demanding you pay them money (I keep hearing that many times they don't even have a legitimate claim to the images they say they do) or if some public figures who used the services of a company or the government to scrub the Internet for them.
...but I do keep wondering if this has anything to do with Obama's Net Neutrality at the same time.

They create hugboxes (known as filter bubbles based on user preferences) to shelter us from different opinions which is disguised as “improved search results”.
They have announced they will now determine the “truthfullness” of search results, and spare you inconvenient truths (facts).
