Google can block domains if domains is registred 1-2 weeks ago. If website is 1 or 2 years old - thats ok.

If anyone from the UK has had issues with loss of traffic due to AI overviews, please contact Preiskel solicitors - Sophie in London to be part of a class action, this ruling will help those in USA as there is also legal team in US getting a class action together, I did post the name before but I can't remember without looking it up, if you want it let me know.

Students who repeatedly relied on ChatGPT showed weakened neural connectivity, impaired memory recall, and diminished sense of ownership over their own writing. While the AI-generated content often scored well, the brains behind it were shutting down.</blockquote>

Does this mean two cookie screens or will they be one for both functions?

When I dream of the future, I dream of flights into space, of exploring, of encountering aliens like those in Star Trek. Then @codecommander:disqus gives me a nightmare version in the form of Idiocracy, I laugh it off, but then you see articles like <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/teachers-worst-fears-confirmed-when-struggling-students-suddenly-started-submitting-a-grade-papers/ar-AA1Qbasy">https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/teachers-worst-fears-confirmed-when-struggling-students-suddenly-started-submitting-a-grade-papers/ar-AA1Qbasy</a> and you think maybe Idiocracy is the real future with AI dumbing people so they don&#x27;t think, they just copy and paste... I&#x27;ve not seen the film, just read what it&#x27;s about. Just another example of how badly thought-out and unregulated AI has become. The conspiracy theory is that you make them stupid so they&#x27;ll be easier to control... AI should be behind a paywall, etc....

I do miss it. But yea, no, I really can&#x27;t find this setting. It doesn&#x27;t do me any good to have this come up all the time. It does log me out often, and I have to re-sign in but never asked to re-verify

Been a while since I gave you a hard time, so I couldn&#x27;t resist. But you have to admit, it&#x27;s odd that only Sensei and I are experiencing this problem.

Show me where and I will adjust it. I see no such setting. I am not targeting anyone.

I thought I read somewhere a while back the admin can selectively choose which accounts to re-verify. The most plausible explanation is Barry has targeted us for aggravation, which is why he dismissed my prior comment as it being a third party embed thing.

I thought that was just happening with mine. The email verification comes up every couple days over the last month or so.
