DuckDuckGo was never meant to defeat spying by three-letter-agencies.
It's meant to protect us from tracking by advertisers.
I don't think it makes any sense for a three-letter-agency to run it. They can just NSL duckduckgo. They obey the law, as this news item shows clearly.
- autoexec 5y agoI agree. Can't dismiss the possibility since anything advertising itself as a service to protect your privacy could make a very nice honeypot for the state, but there's a market for pro-privacy services that private companies are happy to serve and nothing stopping the state from just taking whatever that want from them anyway.
