Context:

The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search.

In search, with AI used to get ads relevant to what you searched for. Hardly terrible, arguably quite useful.

Everyone on here has a pixel with graphene and uses a FOSS Maps app anyway, so this won’t affect anyone on Lemmy.
