            <description><![CDATA[The internet is run by adtech right now, and all the biggest companies are thriving on that, and I think the sooner we get out of that, the better.

            <description><![CDATA[We thought this was wrong. Search is a daily utility that all of us use. There needs to be alternate mechanisms for how we go about it.
