i heavily use kagi and their result is definitely much better than google for uncommon queries, specially if technical.

google results is pretty much from sites that i have filtered out in kagi.

yeah, its disgusting that targeted advertising is not illegal. same with targeting senior citizens with falsely proclaiming drugs and cure. these so called tech companies are just digital pimps for scammers.

the right thing will be obviously to do complete ban on any data collection for profiling as well and lengthy jail time for entire c-suite doing or facilitating targeted ads. but with close to 300 billion yearly revenue at stake they will rather nuke half the earth than let that law pass.

rightly so. there are many substances banned for kids like alcohol and cigarettes because of much greater potential for physical harm. like wise its right to protect them physiologically. social media run by parasites in big tech are only going to harm them mentally.

look into how meta targeted teens who deleted their selfie after uploading with ads for most snake oil cosmetics.

with every year it seems everything thing done by govt is for benefit of some mega corp. anything good for common people doesn’t get any attention. if someone like sanders proposes it then it doesn’t get voted by either sides. if it comes into effect by some wonder then its reversed by SC.

All copyrights laws vanished the moment big tech wanted to use everyones IP to replace humans with ai slop but we are yet to have basic inflation control and safety net from medical bankruptcy.
