    Saying "pictures taken from Google" is not adequate citing of the source. Google is like a library, gathering information and photos from the entire Internet. If you were quoting from a book, you could not say: "I got this info from some book in the library," but you would need to say which book and who wrote it. In the same way, you need to click on the image you find in Google, then go to the website that contains that photo, and cite the photographer and source IF you even have legal right to use the image.

    FOR INSTANCE: The very first photo in this post was taken by a photographer named Shao Huan Lang and appears on this page on the PHYS.ORG website. You have given no credit to the photographer. Furthermore, that site which is operated by the Science X Network explicitly states that:

    You may not copy, reproduce, republish, download, post, broadcast, transmit, make available to the public, or otherwise use Science X content in any way except for your own personal, non-commercial use.

    By posting this image in a blog on the Hive blockchain where you will earn money from the work of the photographer is a clear violation of the copyright given, above, and is not ethical. It is also contrary to the spirit of PowerHouseCreatives, that is all about quality content of an ORIGINAL nature. Violating the copyright on anything will reflect badly on your account, on the Hive blockchain as a whole, and on the reputation of the PowerHouseCreatives community. As such, your post is being MUTED in the community. If you continue to post copyrighted images that are not granted permission for use, you will be MUTED as an author and banned from our Discord server.
