Some employee mentioning this on Twitter is not an announcement. That would be a press release, a blog post or at least a tweet from their official corporate account.
I use DDG too but I wish they wouldn't use bing as a backend.
- shkkmo 4y agoIt's hard to tell. Given that DDG signed a confidentially agreement barring discussion, the "employee mentioning on twitter" might have been the only feasible way to get the information out. That said, this has been going on a while, and it seems more likely that DDG was fine with keeping it secret and the employee was probably acting independently. I think the fact the DDG signed the confidentiality agreement willingly does not speak well of their overall priorities.
