A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

ALL YOUR SEARCHES are tied to your email, forever. all your queries safely stored, waiting for someone to hack them or them to abuse that data somehow.
now reread your question.
This is inaccurate. The reality is that the company promises that searches aren't saved and there is no search history associated with your account.
The problem is that we have no way to verify that is actually true. It requires trust.
I use Kagi. I pay $5/month for 300 searches. I am acutely aware of the fact that my searches might not be completely private.
They still offer the most accurate search results of any any search engine since ~2008 Google.
