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.

Google’s new Otto has been “Do Evil” for a decade at least.

I hear google is going to get into banking now as well. Uh, NOT a chance in hell. Even though I try to avoid it, it seems to be somehow linked to just about everything. Talk about intrusive. The FBI got nothing on google.

Doesn’t Duck-Duck-Go leverage Google though? How are the results different? :-O

Yea, it’s almost a sport with me. Just about ANYTHING where politics sets in, you’ll find HUGE DIFFERENCES between Google and DuckDuckGo. Also, its been my experience that the others like Yahoo and Bling wind up with results similar to DuckDuckGo, thereby telling me that Google is rigging their results.

It’s their CORE BUSINESS and it’s amazing that they’ve gotten this far in compromising it, with no impact to them (yet).
