So what can we do about it? The most valuable information you could share with Big Tech is your next question, not the questions you asked days or months or years ago. There are proactive steps you can take to protect yourself while using AI chat.

So what’s the harm? Most AI chat services use conversations for model training, unless users actively opt out. 53% of people didn't know (or weren't sure) that their conversations are used for AI training.

For many people, AI chatbots serve as a judgment-free space to share things they won't tell anyone else. 32% of AI users say they've told a chatbot something they've never told a close friend, parent, colleague, doctor, or therapist; among self-described AI enthusiasts, that number jumps to 56%.

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.
