[PSA] DuckDuckGo was founded by a Jew that openly gathered personal information before (technology)

submitted ago by kmccormick

I am seeing a lot of links here in voat about the increment in usage of "privacy oriented" browser ddg. It has not yet be proven that DDG violates your privacy, but it is highly probable given the previous history of its founder. It is openly known (even wikipeda has info about it)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_Database

Alternatives? I am using searx, it is an aggregator, you can choose which engines to use, it is opensource and there is many instances so you can use which ever you want, and even host your own. https://searx.me https://searx.me/about

Edit: Thanks @sbt2160p for this link: https://8ch.net/tech/ddg.html

Edit2: You can make voat a source (preferences > engines > social media > voat) and search directly in voat with !vo (Example https://searx.me/?q=%21vo%20duckduckgo)

I support people using anything to get them out of Google's clutches. Just because you think DuckDuckGo isn't perfect doesn't mean it isn't a vast improvement.

DUCK DUCK GO caught CENSORING HERE less than a month ago!*

Duck Duck Go for 24 hours until exposed here on voat.co BANNED AND TOTALLY DELETED the infamous website and brower plugin from "coincidencedetector.com" that puts ((( ))) echoes on jewish names from a remote database.

search voat.co tech section archives and you can find a substantial thread on the TOTAL CENSORSHIP of https://coincidencedetector.com/

typing even the COMPLETE DOMAIN NAME "coincidencedetector.com" got 0 hits on any page!!!

It was programmatically shoah'd by that Jewish company.

They were starting to get noticed quickly for that shit, and relented the next day

You do realize DDG doesn't have an actual search web crawler like jewgle does and simply aggregates results from jewgle, bing, and some other search engine all on 1 page. Bang feature allows you to do direct searches that way.

BWaaaa HA Haaah HAaaah!, We TESTED IT THAT NIGHT!

We tested Google.com, and coincidencedetector.com and "coincidence detector" - > GREAT RESULTS

We tested Bing.com, and coincidencedetector.com and "coincidence detector" - > GREAT RESULTS

We tested a few others.

ONLY ONE SEARCH ENGINE BANNED AND CENSORED COMPLETELY and it was the Jewish Owned and Run : "Duck Duck Go"!!!

You seriously can't change reality. Duck Duck Go has BAN FILTERS, and we proved it. In fact it was banned nearly a whole day and only unbanned when exposed here on Voat.co !!!

Oh I need to mention, DDG doesn't like to post results for direct links to sites anyway. It will usually post the other pages of it (if it has any). I know that because searching for archive.fo and imgoat.com alone will not return results for those sites main URLs.

For DDG to know/care would mean they read voat.co instead of having a bug report/complaint contact link. If it was really banned, it would stay banned.

Or an employee or contractor on voat. It was a big deal here.
