"Google, like Facebook, has a business model that's built on surveillance. The company's stated mission of "organizing the world's information" also includes capturing as much as possible of your information. That information is the base layer of some undeniably useful services, which in turn fuel the advertising that makes up the overwhelming majority of Google's revenue."

I was having a conversation with my son about climate change. I was looking for a specific scientist who had flipped from an alarmist to a realist. I put:

“climate change hoax”

Into google and duckduckgo. The difference in result was sobering. Google suppressed all but 1 result that challenged the orthodoxy. duckduckgo gave me what I was looking for.

They have a thicker file on each of us than any other agency in the world. That’s all they do - watch us.

If you have any cash, search on the serial number of any bill with a denomination of 20 or more and you’ll see the pic of when it was withdrawn from a most machine, drive through window, or the teller window.

Well, ok, it doesn’t work but it will one day.

I pity the people who use smartphones, hooked-up to Alexa or one of Google’s voice command bots, hooked-up their Nest thermostats, security systems, cars, bank accounts etc etc etc. They are compromised beyond belief.

I have none of that.

Can anyone recommend a free email service? That’s the last sticking point for me. :)

No mention in the article about Google rigging their search results.

Worthless.
