I see this as an already solved problem. Dr. Isaac Asimov wrote a series of robot novels that stated and explored the Three Laws of Robotics: 1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. And the Zeroth Law : A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. For those of you who haven't read the novels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

This happened to us a couple of years ago - check to the IRS intercepted, washed, and redirected. Nearly cost us a fortune. We caught it in time, and were able to get the IRS paid and get the fraud reversed.

Never pay the IRS with a check. Credit card, ACH wire transfer, or EFTPS for us from then on.

[M]urdering lots of innocents to kill a few bad guys is NOT justifiable, that makes you the bad guys too

Soooo, then who were the Good Guys in WW2? All parties bombed the living shit out of "innocent" civilians.

The ratio of civilian to military deaths in Iran is very low. Orders of magnitude lower than WW2.

Your measure also makes IRGC and their international islamist proxies very, very, very Bad Guys, yes?

“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”

They'll eventually come for you if you don't stop them at 4chan.

TT-RSS install on my cloud server, web browser and android clients. Use it for everything I can. It vastly simplifies keeping up with news/ events/authors/sites I want to follow without having to visit dozens of sites daily. I've over 100 feeds I track, not counting the YouTube channels. On some I find articles to read daily, some weekly, some rarely. For example, I followed a link in my Slashdot feed to this story. I'd not have seen it if it wasn't in my feed.

Really? Now that would be an achievement.
Between the AI crud that's remarkably inaccurate and the litany of sponsored links, it's hard to get Google to return results of value anymore.
Perplexity (mentioned in systemd-anonymousd' comment) is one good alternative. Here's another (IMHO):

Useful Google results without the crud.

Comment File an ADA Complaint (Score 1) 91

Your CV says you are in CA in the USA. If the website it in the USA, file an ADA complaint. The .gov takes those seriously.
You can likely file a complaint with the CA .gov too as I'm sure they have several hundred laws covering disabled access.
You may even be able to file a lawsuit yourself which would get their attention very quickly, if you qualify as disabled by EEOC definition.
