Search engines are our main navigators to useful information on the Web, and yet very few people understand the work that goes into building a large-scale general search engine.
Let's change that... 🔍

Instagram for kids is a truly bad idea, also in regards to privacy: https://www.vox.com/recode/22385570/instagram-for-kids-youtube-facebook-messenger
If your kids need to communicate online, better make them familiar with privacy-friendly alternatives! https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/how-to-leave-google-gmail/
Today is great because...

We talk a lot about the Big Tech surveillance capitalists, but what about "the unchecked middlemen of surveillance capitalism?"
From the doxxing, to the lobbying, to the labeling, an industry that is rotten to the core.

We shouldn’t have had to go to court. For a year, we’ve been fighting legal battles over the British government’s secretive NHS data deals with controversial ‘spy tech’ firm Palantir.
Today, we can announce an important victory.

I'm kinda exited that @Mojeek is trying to challange the unchallangeble Google. It seems their recent push to find a viable way to make money in the search space has landend on a vary reasonable stance: Ads are not the fundamental problem. The fundamental problem is tracking.
They are having an AMA on HN and Reddit today:

What was it that started us out on our journey to provide search without surveillance? That's one of the many questions answered in our 15 Years Without Tracking Celebration Blog Post! 🙌🥂🎈
