Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Senator Markey is pressing Google to let schools disable AI Overviews in Search, arguing that districts should be able to choose a search experience without generative AI. Google says schools can toggle Search and Gemini independently, but AI Overviews remain embedded in Search itself, so turning off Gemini does not remove AI-generated answers. The dispute matters because AI Overviews now appear on a large share of search results, and schools are a closely watched test case for whether users can opt out of AI features. Watch whether Google adds a separate AI Overviews control for education accounts or extends one to all users.
