This has been a strange project to work on. Advocates and representatives on both sides of the debate don't really want to talk about © and opt-out, because the facts are inconvenient from both perspectives… What's necessary for this conversation to happen?

Oops. I think I accidentally opted-out most of the web… At least, I followed best practices from © regulations and recent court cases to determine the Opt-Out status of the top websites:

Opt-Out Bill Risks Future AI Training Legitimization
