With all the talk about privacy, people seem to be forgetting that censorship is also a major problem for today's internet.
(lemmy.world)
Many "alternative" search engines are better for privacy, but they are still vulnerable to censorship, because they rely on g**gle and m*crosoft's indices for their search results. This isn't a deep-hidden secret either, many of them disclose what search index they use on the "about" page, for example:
- https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/
- https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/5138782571796-Why-isn-t-a-particular-site-appearing-in-the-results
- https://www.ecosia.org/privacy
There are still search engines that (claim to) maintain their own index. Most surprisingly, br*ve:
I hope you thoroughly review the board of executives of every company that provides every product you use
Way ahead of you, pal. Its public information even! Just look up the company name and type "board of executives". If it is indeed incorporated, it will be public. LLCs are the true tricksters.
Buying food must be exhausting. We know Nestlé is bad, but how do you manage to check the parent company of every single food item and go through all the execs' behaviours to know if they meet your moral standards?
You buy locally and grow your own. Those have their faults to. And I still complain when my wife buys kellogs. But come on man its the easiest shit in the world to not use a fucking browser that a cunt owns and operates. Its a browser, not food. Tech is some of the easiest shit to vet.
