Wow. Google is going to block their search engine in schools if they don't use their AI.

Meanwhile DuckDuckGo lets you choose if you want AI in search or not. Here's how schools can make DuckDuckGo the default search engine: https://t.co/DJWO0M3bDR

Get in touch for help.

Schools choosing to restrict AI altogether will no longer be able to access Google Search, as AI features are now integrated into the search engine.

No, everyone is not using AI for everything. https://t.co/ReSjYonNDP

People are consuming AI like they eat meat: some are embracing it, some are limiting their use of it, and some are avoiding it altogether.

A "patchwork" of AI laws is a feature, not a bug https://t.co/swNEl5asah

If AI violates our privacy, takes our jobs, and potentially can destroy the world, then it’s too big for Congress to regulate alone

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose.

The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥

It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

🆕✍️More data supports science funding literally pays for itself https://t.co/zMtyR1r5Di

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

This is important to say right now.

Not liking the direction Google is headed? Come to the Duck side.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

On this side, user choice matters.

All AI features at DuckDuckGo are optional and links aren't going anywhere on our search engine.

(We also don't spy on you, but that's a whole other thing.)

@TTVNerdWord @liemkyuza @ceroribi No, we're not

🆕✍️Principles almost always have exceptions, often when they conflict with other principles (Rule 5). When principles conflict, a priority stack usually decides which one wins.
