How is Kagi indirectly Russian?

• matkoniecz 2mo ago
  They are repackaging bunch of search engine results, including Yandex (and paying for it). Yandex is Russian. I would not describe it as Kagi being indirectly Russian.

    > I would not describe it as Kagi being indirectly Russian. What do you mean? That Kagi is directly Russian? Paying a russian provider isn't against the law and at some point we need to bring Russia back into the warmth of the West.

      Perhaps “at some point” is not “while they’re still waging a war of aggression”, though.

        Is it only Russia that we don't pay, or is it any country that does a war of aggression?
        • apothegm 2mo ago
          Ideally any, and yes, I’m aware that that currently includes the US. Being located there (though very much opposed to said war) it’s a bit difficult for me to boycott, personally.

            Do you boycott Israel?
            • apothegm 2mo ago
              I’m not aware of anything I buy/use that comes from Israel, so it’s been a moot point. I do maintain some boycotts that significantly inconvenience me (Amazon being one; I won’t enumerate them all), so I’m not just making excuses for inaction.

          For me Russia is a priority as both most dangerous personally, geopolitically and for family reasons (for start, grand-grand-father was murdered as part of Katyń massacre). So I am fine with singling out Russia.

That Kagi is directly Russian? no, that Kagi is buying from Russian supplies > Paying a russian provider isn't against the law and I never claimed that it is > at some point we need to bring Russia back into the warmth of the West. no we don't, and hopefully Russia will be forced to behave before we do this
