Why is this any worse than Google? There are obvious perverse incentives against providing a decent search tool on every page by design.
- miguelmota 7y ago> Why is this any worse than Google? - Easier surveillance of citizens - Easier to censor anti-government speech - Easier to alter search results for more government propaganda - Easier to make correlations between search history and crimes for when it's convenient to prosecutors - Lower quality of service because the government does not have consumer's best-interest in mind I don't know about you but I prefer to not live in George Orwell's 1984 dystopian world
