  "account": "Families in seven cities across the United States protested on Wednesday, objecting to Google's plan to integrate AI models into schools, according to reports. The protests were sparked by Google's announcement that students would be unable to access Google Search without AI assistance. While Google argued that the move provided schools \"more choice, not less\" by turning off Search, Gemini, and Gemini Notebook by default, parents disagreed. They believed that the lack of an option to use Search without AI restrictions denied students the ability to avoid interacting with AI. In Chicago, demonstrators gathered outside the tech giant's downtown office, weather notwithstanding, carrying signs and chanting phrases like \"Hey Google, nice try, we don’t want your Gemini\" and \"Hey, Google, leave our kids alone!\"",
