CMA designates Google with Strategic Market Status following investigation: UK regulator officially designates Google with Strategic Market Status after nine-month investigation, finding the company holds substantial market power in search. https://ppc.land/cma-designates-google-with-strategic-market-status-following-investigation/ #Google #MarketRegulation #CMA #DigitalMarket #SearchEngine

🇬🇧 Cơ quan Cạnh tranh Anh (CMA) đã gán cho Google “strategic market status”, mở ra quyền can thiệp sâu vào thị trường tìm kiếm. Điều này cho phép CMA yêu cầu Google chia sẻ thuật toán, mở rộng kết quả và tăng cạnh tranh. #Google #UK #CMA #StrategicMarketStatus #ThịTrườngChiếnLược #CạnhTranh #SearchEngine #CôngCụTìmKiếm

Well, well, well. The UK's CMA just slapped Google Search with 'strategic market status,' basically saying 'we see you, Google!' Expecting new rules to 'promote competition.'

Google, of course, is already pre-emptively mourning 'inhibited innovation.' Who needs 'fair competition' when you can 'innovate' your way to 90% market share? What's the real cost of unchecked market power?

#LLM #AI #Google #searchengine #enshittification #lumo So. Google searches return only garbage. Most search-engines use Google too. I started using Lumo (proton's LLM that's supposed to keep your entry private) ,whenever I wanted info. Contributing to the crazy energyuse and the whole problem. Now, what other ( free) choices do I have? What do You do?

🐢 Breaking news: Someone wrote a "high-performance" full-text search engine in Go! 🚀 Because clearly, Google needed another competitor, and the world was desperate for more search engines built from scratch by hobbyists. 🙄

⚠️ Despite the big variety of open-source safe alternatives, #Google remains the most used search engine in the world, with 90% of online searches. HOW? Google pays independent browsers, like Firefox and Safari, to be Google-by-default. It is a monopolistic practice for which they were sued.

Salut le fediverse francophone !

Est-que vous utilisez le moteur de recherche payant Kagi ?

Est-ce que les résultats en français sont satisfaisants ?

Look, #SearchEngine, when i ask you for a dictionary of a language, I would like a dictionary, compiled by actual humans who speak the language. Not a “translator”. Not a bloody #LLM piece of dog slop which at best vomits out ad hoc glossary blither. A REAL DICTIONARY so i can learn, understand, and use said language with utmost comprehension as a human with a mind and an unfashionable desire for education.

Stop trying to think for me, you lowdown #AI devs!

I loathe this era. What a godsforsaken dark age of total stupidity into which we are sinking…

Good alternatives to google, duckduckgo a.s.o. are listed here (german): https://www.kuketz-blog.de/empfehlungsecke/#suchmaschine

I switched to https://www.startpage.com/ (Netherlands) today as i saw that duckduck.go has an "ai" feature ("Popular AI models from: GPT, Claude, Mistral, Llama") now too.

"Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or otherwise unreliable." "Outputs may be offensive." "If you break the law or violate these Terms when using Duck.ai and we get sued, you may have to take responsibility." 🤓
