Last week's episode of the Tech Won't Save Us podcast also talked about this 'Google Zero' phenomenon. It's a big problem!

A suggestion: news sites should be pushing RSS feeds hard. Firefox should put a reader in the browser by default, and give alerts when a feed is available on a site.

Between RSS and anti-corporate social media, we have the tools to remove intermediaries like Google and Meta when it comes to news. That's not a replacement for doing stuff like taxing them or doing antitrust enforcement, but thwy're things each of us can do pretty easily!
