Did you miss this ad on the AI-stuffed Super Bowl ad roster? The company nobody's ever heard of was fostered by Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek, who reportedly "spent $70 million on ai.com in 2025."
"I created an account on AI.com, though part of me wishes I hadn't since it required me to enter a credit card or connect to Apple Pay. And after forking over my most personal data, I couldn't even use the site."
"Demand is extremely high right now, so generation is cued. We'll notify you the moment your AI is ready to activate."

It's hard to take a company like Google seriously as it addresses security in defense - not when it also callously exposes people's SSNs and other critical personal data in its search results. Both actions come from the same company. Both are critical, even if one pays and the other is just a data commodity in the corporate eye.

Picus Security a;so warned that threat actors are "routing command-and-control (C2) traffic through high-reputation services like OpenAI and AWS to stay hidden. In a quarter of attacks, they used passwords stolen from browsers to masquerade as legitimate users."

@Epic_Null @idahobucks @Gizmodo @EUCommission they can't ban a platform with millions of users. I'd love to see X banned, but consider the tantrum and the vengeance that will follow. Same with Meta. Frankly, at least these two have earned bans. But it's easier to ban kids without costly repercussions.
I think your second point has potential, give or take. Maybe it's time to get out of the stupid "let's surveil and ban everything" box and start thinking more creatively.
@idahobucks @Gizmodo @EUCommission Fines are a drop in the bucket for the big companies, and they will fight back anyway, with vengeance to boot. So we're back to the beginning: Europe isn't able to control the big platforms, so it's punishing young people for some one else's mistakes while simultaneously undermining parents. This is just wrong, even if it works, which is debatable.
@idahobucks @Gizmodo @EUCommission Or perhaps this is an easier way of punishing said platforms, from the official perspective.
