"As part of our mission to enable a safe agentic web" drew an immediate swear from me.

What's happened here is yet another massive negative externality from AI. Because AI is such a fraud enabler, Google are now using that as an opportunity to end the open internet and competition in operating systems.

I'd much rather go the other way and make the AI wear identification. Crack down on both corporate and unlicensed AIs.

Edit: and of course it's also advertising killing the web, because the fraud in question is ad fraud. Need to force it into human eyeballs, not bots.
