Too much effort with 3D model of the castle and waterworks to be called AI garbage, don’t you find?
This will have zero effect. First of all, this is a blip that will eventually disappear from your average passenger’s radar before the summer travel period unless Boeing is unable to satisfy FAA’s requirements in the coming months. Secondly, I believe people are mostly concerned with pricing and availability, not the aircraft type.
Exactly that: “Please provide your card to complete the booking”. I was so pissed about it I signed up for Revolut (for their single-use cards). Funnily enough, restaurants that force you to do this are neither the best nor especially highly rated.
Re:Did I receive fraudulent DMCA takedowns? on Thursday June 22, 2023 @04:28AM (#36429408)
Yes and yes. Whenever a DMCA takedown notice is filed with Google the allegedly infringing URL is quickly removed from the SERP. Google will notify you (and the public) in following ways: 1. Publishing the request on lumendatabase.org 2. Informing you through the Search Console (which has a delay of a few days) 3. Publishing the removal on Google Transparency Report website 4. Publishing a note at the bottom of the SERP mentioning that a website was not featured on the results due to a DMCA takedown notice with a link to lumendatabase

Google takes the ”I trust you bro” stance and delists your URL until (if ever) you file a DMCA counter notification which can be done through Google (can look up the link if you need it).

Re:I'm Shadow Banned by DuckDuckGo (and Bing) on Sunday January 15, 2023 @08:54AM (#34389376)
Had the same problem due to negative SEO campaigns by naughty competitors. Wrote to Bing Webmaster Tools Support team (https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/webmaster-support-24ab5...) and after a lengthy process got a response that ”the issue” had been addressed.

It’s been a few months since and my website is indeed back in the search results so I advice whoever is having this problem to reach out to Bing.
