       Being forced to opt out of AI training seems to be the standard across sites and platforms. It doesn’t have to be this way. “I think ‘opt in’ is really asking the bare minimum of these companies,” EFF’s @Thorin told WIRED. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-opt-out-of-google-search-new-ai-data-training/

       @eff @Thorin It should only ever be opt-in, and ask everytime with option to do not ask anymore.

       @eff I stopped using Google a long time ago and I haven't noticed a difference. It's running on fumes.

       @eff @Thorin Best way to opt out? Stop using it.Upset by Trump’s talk of tariffs again? Stop using US tech.Wean yourself gradually away.The OS is the hardest part; everything else is a stroll in the park.
