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.
Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)
My mom finally switched from google to duckduckgo, and has already substituted "ask the Duck" for "google it" No notes
Google: "What if search… was all AI?" DuckDuckGo: "What if we just let users choose"?
With Google now force feeding AI in their search, DuckDuckGo (where AI is always optional) is moving up the charts! Now is the time: Fire Google.
