Many a time, I've always insisted on the fact that most of the information we have online have a huge majority of them wrong with just a very few right. In simple terms we actually have more wrong information on the internet these days than the right ones. And the alarming thing about it is that the wrong ones are basically far more easier to access. This is the reason why many persons can't really vividly capture properly the details concerning the security of their coins.

Long story short, I got a little bored while surfing on my mobile and I decided to hit up something quite interesting on Google, and below were the results;

Now most newbies would rush into believing these without proper research. I see most of these results as ads basically come to think of it, a single open source wallet didn't pop up as part of the top 10 results.

"it's not only about doing your own research, it's about doing your own research in details"

This information is so deceptive because none of the wallets listed is open source unless I'm mistaken. It is even more terrifying that this is coming from Google, the first point of contact for anyone looking for information as serious as that. Does it mean that Google does not know anything about self custody? Well, those articles were published by people and Google as a search engine, simply root them out as they were written. This indeed shows that one should be extremely careful of the source of information. One way to avoid issues like this is to compare multiple source like Youtube, Google and other platforms so that the reason given by each of them can be analyzed to arrive at a better conclusion.
