- leeoniya 7y agoyeah sorry, should have said "last i remember". > We have been posting multiple articles on our tech blog, explaining what we do and how we do it in great details. it's possible to have both great tech and loose morals - the two are not mutually exclusive, and one does not absolve the other (e.g. facebook's social experiments) has there been a followup to any of the points brought up in the reddit thread?
- solso 7y ago[Disclaimer: I do work at Cliqz] There is plenty of documentation on data collected (see first posts regarding Human Web on the tech blog), how anonymization works, why record-linkability on data collected is prevented (and forbidden), etc. Furthermore, source code can be inspected, as well as traffic in the case documentation is not enough. I believe that is a better proxy to assess "morality" than random accusations on reddit or opinions formed solely on a half-baked press releases. Do we need to refute all miss-conceptions and FUD that might arise due to the fact that 1) we collect data to build our services (search) and 2) we are funded by a media company (VCs seem to be more pure for an unknown reason). The answer is no. Cannot recall who said that it takes much more effort to refute BS than to generate it. (That does not go for your comment in particular, that's why we replied, but for many of the comments and some of content of the subredit that you mention.)

Question is, is it opt-in data collection or do you make the choice for me? If it's opt-in, great. Otherwise, I don't want to read your "plenty of documentation" and so on and so forth.
