When anti-fascism is seen as too woke, fascism becomes a sign of loyalty to Dear Leader. At least someone over there still has some shame; they've reverted the policy back post-expose. Hurrah for journalism.

Thanks for sharing this. I've enhanced my ai-hostile single-page google portal to use these tips in addition to the -ai keyword I've been using. That said duckduckgo.com is just better these days.

Maybe they were hoping you were someone they could try to deport.

No one would be caught dead in the hippodrome without their hipposandals!
