People with kids are 2x as likely to tell AI something they’ve never told a therapist, doctor or close friend. 🤔 We talked to parents and caregivers in the wild to understand why 👇

1 in 3 AI users have told a chatbot something they kept from trusted people in their lives like a doctor or close friend. We surveyed nearly 2,000 U.S. adults about AI privacy. The results suggest that people are sharing secrets with AI that Big Tech doesn’t keep.

Meta says it will fix the explosion of street harassment videos made with its smart glasses by banning that content from Instagram. But content moderation can't fix an unsafe product. Our Normal F****** Sunglasses will never film people without their consent. 🙃

There’s a deeper reason we think camera-enabled glasses deserve serious pushback: Meta and Google smart glasses open the door to a host of frightening privacy problems. Let’s all take a moment to appreciate Normal F****** Sunglasses.

Imagine getting caught breaking the law and just... continuing. That's Google. Ruled an illegal monopolist in 2024, still running the same playbook in 2026 with no consequences yet. Congress doesn't have to wait on the courts. Pass the SEARCH Act.

Google broke the law. Congress can change that.
Nearly two years since a judge ruled Google an illegal monopolist. Total changes Google has had to make so far: zero. That's what getting away with it looks like. The SEARCH Act can end it now.

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥 It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)
