I feel like maybe the term “search” when applied to digital services should be regulated. What Google et al do isn’t search, it’s recommendations. Recommendations can be useful, but they sure as hell don’t replace search. Someone call the EU.
if they won’t regulate what ‘news’ or ‘organic’ or ‘private’ means then good luck with ‘search’. waiting for the government to get wise and save us, still?
It’s not boggling; it’s very simple: they discovered that having shitty search apparently makes them more money than having good search.
Bingo!
Don’tBe Evil.It was obvious they would enshittify, they literally told us they would.

“Organic” is absolutely a regulated term in the US, not sure about elsewhere. You might be thinking of “natural.”
Which “the government”?
