The cited Pluralistic page is authored by Cory Doctorow and dated September 17, 2025. It contains the quoted passage with a faithful omitted middle clause—"to get the information you’re seeking" appears between "repeatedly search" and "which creates more opportunities to show you ads"—so the excerpt is authentic, correctly attributed, and present at the stated URL.
