Agree that Yandex is very good on issues that mean a lot to conservatives. But you’ll find that most people criticizing Yandex here either don’t believe the 2020 election was stolen, or, if it was stolen, they’re happy it was stolen from Trump.
That 2020 election was just one example. Google is like that about issue after issue after issue. It just regurgitates and reinforces the Corporate Media Narrative on everything.
Yandex is one of the only search engines that is not controlled by “the blob” ie Silicon Valley/the Intel agencies/the Corporate Media.
No, people here criticizing Yandex don't want a Russian search engine collecting our search history. Any more than we want Gurgle doing it. There are other search engine alternatives to Gurgle that aren't run by a sworn enemy of America.
