Google has told districts they cannot use Search in K-12 accounts if they disable AI mode, putting nearly 600,000 NYC public school students at risk of losing access under Mamdani's one-year generative AI moratorium. Protests have emerged in Chicago and Massachusetts, and a U.S. senator has urged Google to offer AI-free search for schools. Google maintains that AI search cannot be separated from its core search product.Why
