    Thanks. Apparently there is a way to do this in #Vivaldi for "distributions" but not for end users. Maybe?

    If it were there I think it would be easy. So I assume it's not. My solution is to just link to #noai and stop using the url/location bar for searches. 🙂

    I hate #AI in searches, I have to recheck EVERYTHING that I don't already know about. That's almost like an anti-search engine. It gives you questions and you hunt for the answers. No thanks!

    Again I would have no problem with it if it were opt-in, but alas there is so little perceived value there that they insist we must opt-out.

    Exponentially harder I would say.

    For something like federated Community Notes an is probably needed, with a set of governing rules that must be followed to qualify.

    "... dass #PersonenbezogeneDaten verarbeitet werden noch bevor man das #OptIn geben konnte..."

    Das ist meines - alten - Wissens nach bei allen Apps so, die eine bestimmte, von Facebook bereitgestellte, Schnittstelle verwenden.

    Oder gilt das nicht mehr?

  18. #chatControl I hear the word "Voluntary" I think of #optin ( as in every user could say "fuck you" and keep their #privacy ) but you mean companies would have to choose if they want to scan or not scan? Oh come on. Those companies always wanted to scan. Now the #Epstein friends ( who run these companies ) will get new porn to watch, because they would get access to your #kids ''s private chats.

    #WTF

  23. Anton Petrov makes claim that YouTube applies AI Filters to Videos without first notifying Creators and without an opt-in or opt-out Toggle; the Filter causes random Flickering in Videos, which endangers Content Consumers who have #Epilepsy. youtu.be/2HY-nREvVu4 #YoutTube #Privacy #OptIn #OptOut #UserRights #AI #ML #EnshittificationOfTheInternet #EpilepsyAwareness #Seizure #SeizureAwareness
