you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.
to opt out on desktop, click your blog 鉃★笍 blog settings 鉃★笍 scroll til you see visibility options and it鈥檒l be the last option to toggle.
to opt out on mobile, click your blog 鉃★笍 scroll then click visibility 鉃★笍 toggle opt out option.
if you鈥檝e already opted out of showing up in google searches, it鈥檚 preselected for you. if you don鈥檛 have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you鈥檇 like to prevent AI scraping your blog i鈥檇 really recommend taking the time to opt out.

And Bashir saying things like 鈥淵ou can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."
And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."
"Twitter just activated a setting by default for everyone that gives them the right to use your data to train grok. They never announced it. You can disable this using the web but it's hidden. You can't disable using the mobile app
