100% this - if you're really lazy like me you can at least set up something like OpenDNS for FREE and it works awesome AND it's really good at blocking malicious stuff too.

FCC floats censoring LGBTQ+ and other "controversial issues" on TV. In schools and museums, "controversial issues" has meant blocking discussion of race, gender, sexuality, bodily autonomy and political issues.
In other words, remaking broadcast to match Christian Nationalist ideology.

AI has done many things, but the biggest gen AI impact has been to make fans incredibly suspicious so now creators have to constantly prove their not AI.

1) Don't want to have a monthly subscription

Do sex workers get $5B too?
Trump has reportedly sued Chase bank and its CEO for $5B, accusing the megabank of "debanking" him.
