Pa. high court rules that police can access Google searches without a warrant
- sharemywin 10mo agoso by that logic is transaction data allowed without a warrant?
- kittikitti 10mo agoThe first thing I do when installing a new browser is to change the default search engine. I recommend Ecosia and DuckDuckGo but Brave Search for the most private options.
- fsflover 10mo agoWhy do you think Brave Search is more private?
- zdp7 10mo agoBecause they promise to not be evil. Oh, wait that was someone else.
- kittikitti 10mo agoBecause they serve their own independent search index. Others, under the hood, just use Bing or Google API for searches. This could mean that searching on other engines queries the sites that enable abuse described in the original article. Other sites that operate their own index include Yandex but because it's headquartered in Moscow, Russia, I have doubts about their privacy. This is what leads me to conclude that Brave Search has the best general privacy. I'm not entirely convinced by DuckDuckGo because it could just be a honeypot since it's approved by Big Tech gatekeepers.
- bdangubic 10mo agobrave is about as private as a public library :)
- twelvechess 10mo agoData privacy is going to become a luxury. This is why the mission of teams like DuckDuckGo, GrapheneOS and more, is so important
- like_any_other 10mo agoSafe against unreasonable search and seizure... unless literally any corporate entity sees you.
- overtone1000 10mo agoA better headline would be, "Google helped the suspect find their victim and then helped the police find their suspect"
- rolph 10mo agonext in: trolling by google search. A.K.A. salting your search history with invidious gems. e.g. google "how to sneak into PD breakroom and put laxative on all the donuts" , and many more
- bdangubic 10mo agothere are for sure a ton of browser extensions that will do this
