They are VC-funded and make money selling ads. Stop idolising DDG as the true and only fighter for privacy. Sooner or later they will bow down to Ad Cash or fuck up otherwise.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoIt's not about company size or profitability, it's about words + past actions. As I mentioned, I made a similar argument recently about Apple. If you assume all organizations are equally ready to ignore user privacy, what do you use? Do you program your own everything or do you only use FSF-approved software whose source code you have personally examined and compiled? It's all about degrees.
