  Parents asked Google for more control over AI in their kids' schools. Now Google says that if a school turns off its AI, students lose Google search too. In other words, a monopoly wants to bully schools into using its products. — Google will be hearing from me, demanding answers.

  Google is using its search monopoly to coerce schools into adopting AI. This highlights the danger of allowing an unregulated monopolist to control an essential service. Multiple courts have found Google liable for violating antitrust laws, and this latest move shows it remains unchastened. As t...

  More choice? You're threatening to take away Google Search from students whose schools don't want your AI products. Teachers, parents, and students should decide what belongs in their schools, not Silicon Valley billionaires looking for the next generation of customers. [embedded post]

  Google is once again prioritizing profits over people—this time blocking schools from using Google Search unless they opt into their A.I. overview. Clearly, the Tech Giant is more concerned with forcing Gemini into schools than enabling students to succeed

  Google's implicit threat here has the energy of Uber and other companies that changed their app screens to urge users to take whatever political position advanced their business. Won't the messages students see make it seem like its the school's fault Google can't stop doing AI?

  “The company's strategy underscores Google's powerful role in education. If schools want continued student access to search within the company's ecosystem, they will be forced to embrace Google's AI” Google will turn off search for schools that ban AI

  Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools. No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children. Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.

  In the wake of our investigation that spurred a bipartisan Senate letter to Google demanding answers about its AI tools at school, Google announced some new changes today to allow administrators more control over turning off AI for students.

  google says if you dont want AI in the classroom you wont get search either earnest Q: highlighted quote seems carefully crafted to suggest there is a technical reason google could not turn off AI in search. is there *any* truth to that?

  Google just told schools that if they turn off AI for students, they'll lose search too. As our amicus brief warned the D.C. Circuit: AI will never discipline Google's search monopoly. Google's search monopoly disciplines AI. https://www.economicliberties.us/ ...

  Google claims it will disable AI tools for K-12 student accounts in 2027 unless schools opt in. The catch? Schools that completely restrict Google's AI tools will also lose access to Google Search. https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]
