content: I have no illusions about online privacy or DDG providing any protection from the NSA collecting, storing, and using ALL of our data illegally. I read about the AT$T backbone being split to the NSA, decades ago and it has only gotten worse. Personally, I would not say anything online that I would not say to the traitorous miscreants to their cadaverous faces. They have sold their right to be considered human to their corporate plutocracy masters. Fuck each and every one of them. The reason I will use DDG and not Google is the targeted ads and politically influenced search algorithms. Among myriad other reasons.
