I noticed that website doesn't show the absolute numbers involved in search engine use. And you ignored the part where I said "they use the default".

That's for multiple reasons - many of them directly being Google's fault with intentional choices made towards this end.

Bing because it's the default on their web browsers they've used in college and work. But moreso - whatever the default is what they use. They have zero attachment to Google.

Do you think there's a realistic future where the money paid for EA could possibly be recouped with product placement?

Once upon a time it would've been unthinkable for Google search to become awful and nearly worthless due, in large part, by Google's discretionary choices. Related - interns these …

Cultural influence though? Are you going to have MAGA Madden? The Socialist League?

What a waste of Saudi money.

Who exactly will be cleaning and sanitizing these self-driving cars that are getting this 50%-or-greater utilization?

ETA until a drone pepper sprays an innocent student or teacher?

The social media you don't want will continue to scale.

Meta is publicly posting ads in Europe promoting age verification, so yes Meta is a part of the problem.

I find that particularly unrealistic that we can arrive at a good place solely by fining companies for data breaches.

As cynical as it sounds given its frequent use in marketing and often inappropriate use in legal circles, securing what data is collected is important too. Raise the bar for a data…

Not every lawmaker is the same and there's more than one way to get a lawmaker's attention. Get more people with you. Or convince a group that's previously established trust in you…

Law alone cannot fix it. Tech alone cannot fix it. If we wish to preserve the values we grew up with, we need both.

Such spaces will never scale if there's widespread legal prohibitions. It is foolish to assume we can innovate our way around the law as opposed to talking with lawmakers to oppose…
