Tinfoil-Hat? really.

Tinfoil-Hat? really.

TBH, it is... kinda. But it’s still a mis-characterization.

I am one of the .43% that uses duckduckgo, but I don’t think I ever search for anything that should raise any kind of flags. I do it more on principle, because of how google collects data on people, and the aggregation of personal information that the big tech companies participate in. It’s not so much about what we are doing, but about what they are doing that is the problem. So in that regard, it’s not tin-foil hat at all.

But to some people, privacy even for the principle of it, is tin-foil hat land.
