The way age verification is being pushed feels more like wanting to setting up checkpoints on the edge of a city versus just checking Id’s before going into a specific establishment.

I just don’t see how this isn’t a national login system trying to masquerade itself in a poorly fitting “think of the children!” sheep’s skin.

I agree they are way ahead of anyone else for utility but they’re also killing the internet.

I have switched to DuckDuckgo and while their index is crap, it’s at least has more crap than what Google has.

DuckDuckgo I believe leases the Bing engine so I am still trying others.

also now I am using the direct search engines for specific sites… eg ‘@wiki <my search query>’ to use Wikipedias onwn search.
