A new form of state-level internet filtering that restricts data flow is disrupting access to large portions of the global web for Russian citizens. Cloudflare, the world leader in DDoS protection and high-traffic load management, is being targeted by these new data caps, which appear designed to push users toward Russian-controlled services. Meanwhile, the move leaves Russian businesses dangerously exposed.

they're just going to lower the quality of their products.

Great, you as user of the service/ product can make your choice to not deal with companies that use AI.

The rest of users can enjoy more choices as they might simply prefer AI.

AI in the strict sense doesn't exist yet.

WTF?

My dude, don't put words in my mouth.

I said Protesting AI is dumb , not all protesting is dumb.

Also, when did protesting AI had actually worked to achieve real improvement?

2 things: AI is wider than LLMs and if you were even remotely correct then artists and writers would not protest it at all.

One problem I see in your way of thought here, adblock use among social media users will never reach 100%.

Furthermore, adblockers are getting weaker with Google Chrome MV3. All of this leads to the logical conclusion in my eyes that you can only change the sources that power users use which will eventually lead to better privacy for all people involved. You will never be able to control people setups to be super private.
