Sure, LLMs give worse-quality output. That does not mean the have-haves more influence over the narrative. In fact, I'd wager LLMs won't be able to replace search engines because of how much faster and more accurate the latter are with simple queries.

The source is Bild, known for "UFO sect about to clone Hitler!", made the poster child for sensationalism by The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum—school reading in many German states—and nicknamed "Angst, Hass, Titten und dem Wetterbericht" by a hit rock single.

Then the answers will be given even more strongly and with far less transparency by those who control the LLMs
I don't think so, Google's algorithm's transparency doesn't seem any better

- Comment on Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play Store 1 week ago:
on the 2023 trial:
At the time, Google was quick to point out that the ability to sideload apps on Android meant Epic hadn't been completely barred from distributing Fortnite on the platform (as it had been on iOS). "The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores," Google said in 2020. "While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies. However, we welcome the opportunity to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play."
By April 2020, Epic had returned to the Google Play store, accusing Google of imposing a number of important limits on its sideloaded software. As the company said at the time:
Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third-party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store.

- Comment on OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent casually clicks through “I am not a robot” verification test 2 weeks ago:
Cloudflare's turnstile slowly ramps up a different assortment of challenges while not tracking your mouse movement or cross-site activity.
If a bot can find all images with crosswalks in grainy photos faster than we can, surely it can check a box as well. Bots definitely can check a box, and they can even mimic the erratic path of human mouse movement while doing so. For Turnstile, the actual act of checking a box isn’t important, it’s the background data we’re analyzing while the box is checked that matters. We find and stop bots by running a series of in-browser tests, checking browser characteristics, native browser APIs, and asking the browser to pass lightweight tests (ex: proof-of-work tests, proof-of-space tests) to prove that it’s an actual browser.

Doesn't that make it 41.4% US-owned? I don't see how your criteria make Deezer better than Apple Music. Plus Access is the same company that owns Warner Music Group, and I'm fairly sure it's only 41.4% because they later went public in 2022; the 2016 acquisition decision says the percent of Deezer owned by Access is confidential but says Access would have exclusive control. Which also brings the question of where the 41.4% figure is from.
Do you really want to support something that expressly funds the policies and aspects of the US that you hate or something that's simply based in the US and helped fund just Trump's inauguration event instead of any policies?
