The one thing that is mildly disturbing about DuckDuckGo is its founder did not have privacy in mind while building. In one interview about a couple of years ago he told explicitly that DuckDuckGo became privacy focused because of the market for privacy and not because of his personal belief in privacy.
- anilgulecha 10y agoThat's fine.. If the idealism-based push for privacy isn't doing so well, maybe the business-based push will. We can definitely fight through all available avenues.

I was just biased that some one like RMS (Richard Stallman) who is both capable and strong willed has started the project but surprised to find market drove it. But surely market for privacy got created because of the idealism-based peoples sacrifice.
