Great, thanks David. I am learning to do things right then! I shared it on Facebook too π
@anniemo71 @davidoclubb Actually #DDG is a poor choice for #privacy. http://techrights.org/2021/03/15/duckduckgo-in-2021/

So a better alternative would be?
@iron_bug @anniemo71 @gomez @davidoclubb Ss is not searx; it's custom. But wrt searx, no kid in moms basement is financially equipped to exploit data to the extent of #GAFAM. We're talking very costly AI.
@davidoclubb @gomez @anniemo71 @iron_bug Facebook is even figuring out which of their users are gay with very high accuracy. You don't have to worry about searx (FOSS s/w) doing that.
@iron_bug @anniemo71 @gomez @davidoclubb i sense some sympathy for tech giants (as you equated scraping Google/MS results with "stealing"). IMO scraping their results is the best scenario, because it uses the resources of tech giants without compensating them, which means not only not feeding privacy abusers, but costing them. That's a good thing.
