Way too broad.
DuckDuckGo's business model seems innocuous enough. They do no tracking whatsoever. They still target ads based on the search terms you're using on that particular search.
At a minimum, DDG should be allowed to continue doing that.
This might seem like nitpicking, the article does explain what it means, but if we wait until we see the "no targeting" language on law proposals, it might be too late.
- fenwick67 9y agoI agree, targeting based on the current page is okay, but targeting based on the user isn't.
- karljtaylor 9y agotargeting based on current page creates a marketplace where only those who are capable of paying an absurd CPC show up, if your stated goal is as above, it really isn't what you want. Google had to do a lot of work on this front, and really still hasn't sorted it out very well. the personal injury keywords are a really good example of this.
