When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.

“carnival against fascism. The Battle of Trafalgar Street. It was here on the 13th of June 2026 that police used batons and pepper spray on the people of Brighton in an attempt to force a far-right march through the city.
