More on Google Search "Web Filter"
To add more context to why Google's choice of this "Web Filter" construct
doesn't actually help the situation at all ...
Most people never touch the top results bar where this option will be
displayed and/or hidden under the "More" option. This is just an
insincere gesture that Google knows only a tiny fraction of people
will notice or even fewer will use. You know how many people have been
amazed when I tell them you can filter results by date? They had no
idea! Meanwhile, Google will continue sucking data out of those
websites as those site views fall to zero, and when those sites vanish
Google won't care since they've already got their data!
I'll add that at a MINIMUM there should be a way for logged in users
to select on a sticky (permanent until changed by the user) basis
whether or not they want the AI crap at all. -L
