So, yes, they are cutting off search from AI-free schools. The claim is precise and accurate. This is the net effect, and they can, in fact, opt to not do this but they will not. There is no technical hurdle. There is no economic hurdle. Doing so simply does not align with their incentives.

There is no virtue in appealing to nuance to maintain plausible deniability for these companies. It's absurd on its face.

Not giving someone something they want is not the same as taking something away.

Is every vegan restaurant cutting off meat eaters? There's no technical hurdle or economic hurdle.

It probably takes years of 'education' to reach conclusions like this.
