DuckDuckGo- 37 Reasons I Sent It to Search Engine Hell, and Why You Should Too.

DuckDuckGo markets themselves as a way to take back your online privacy. DuckDuckGo says that it gathers results from Yahoo!, Bing, Wikipedia, and about 400 other sources, but never, ever Google. They claim that, unlike other big search engines, DuckDuckGo doesn’t store your personal information, follow you around, track you online, or target you with ads. While Google combines your search history with other personal identifiers (age, gender, location, IP address, and device information) to build a personal profile of you, DuckDuckGo says they don’t do any of that.

Google also plants trackers on millions of other websites, through Google analytics, that log your every move. In fact, if I used Google analytics, I could personally track you, to a certain degree, across multiple devices. That is why this site boycotts Google- to protect the privacy of visitors.

DuckDuckGo, we are told, doesn’t track people.

So, now we know what DuckDuckGo supposedly doesn’t do. But, now let’s look at what they do.

  1. They do get most of their search results from Bing, and apparently allow Microsoft trackers.
  2. They do give you the search results they want to give you, the results that have made it through their admitted political filters.
  3. DuckDuckGo is located in the US, and seemingly enforces the authorized political narrative on many subjects, through censorship.
  4. While DuckDuckGo previously stood for unbiased search results, it has joined the ranks of the big-tech censors by, in their own words, “down-ranking sites associated with disinformation”.
  5. In an attack upon the moral resistance to the global elite’s liberal perversion (see- The Russia/Ukraine Conflict-What the Media Won’t Tell You), DuckDuckGo has also said, “At DuckDuckGo, we’ve been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.” This is censorship, regardless of your political views.
  6. DuckDuckGo claims to not track users, but they obviously track sites, or else how could they know that it was “Russian disinformation”?
  7. If DuckDuckGo monitors websites they don’t want you to visit, and rigs their results to steer you away from those sites, how are they not tracking your online searches?
  8. DuckDuckGo seemed to have built its reputation on unmanipulated search results, but now are declaring that they will manipulate search results.
  9. How do we know that they haven’t been doing that all the time?
  10. A great many people are asking if they have also been tracking and spying on users all this time, and if DuckDuckGo is even safe?
  11. If anyone demands that sites must submit to their political views or die, is that not tyranny? And, can tyrants be trusted with your privacy?
  12. “Truth” is worthless, if you have to be forced and manipulated into believing it.
  13. DuckDuckGo is is worse than worthless, if they are playing mind-control games.
  14. DuckDuckGo has defended its censorship by declaring “Search engines by definition try to put more relevant content higher and less relevant content lower- that’s not censorship, it’s search ranking relevancy.” Evidently, “search ranking relevancy” means, “Russian media bad, Western media good.”
  15. Or maybe, “search ranking relevancy” means “Regardless of your search terms, we’ll give you only what we want you to see.”
  16. If “relevance” means banning any thought that does not support a certain political view, that is censorship.
  17. One man’s “propaganda” is another man’s “truth”. Who is DuckDuckGo to decide what opinions should be regarded as “search ranking relevancy”?
  18. Who is DuckDuckGo to decide what is relevant to you?
  19. Who is DuckDuckGo to decide what truth you are entitled to?
  20. Who is DuckDuckGo to decide what you are required to believe?
  21. Only tyrants and liars fear free speech.
  22. If DuckDuckGo manipulates your online search, they are invading your privacy.
  23. If DuckDuckGo monitors your online search to direct you to their version of the “truth”, they are violating your privacy.
  24. If they are tracking your search queries to determine that their political views are relevant to you, they are invading your privacy.
  25. Censoring your search results is an invasion of your privacy.
  26. DuckDuckGo is not our god, that we must unquestionably accept their political views and biased opinions.
  27. People are not idiots that we can only process one thought, and forever be enslaved to that thought. Mankind is intelligent enough to determine what is “disinformation”, and we deserve to hear every declaration on any matter. We have a right to all the opinions, even the lies and the conspiracy theories, and to decide for ourselves what is truth. We are intelligent enough to determine truth, and to have our own personal opinions.
  28. Does anyone have a right to proclaim that we are all idiots, and that we must be protected from information that conflicts with their views?
  29. DuckDuckGo previously condemned “Do no evil” Google and others for censorship, but now does the same thing. Have they also changed their mind about privacy?
  30. In my own tests, the (supposedly censoring) Russian search engine, Yandex, gave far more unbiased results than DuckDuckGo, concerning any political opinion I tried to search.
  31. It’s a sad day when the supposedly very best, most private search engine America has to offer, is apparently more politically oppressive the most popular search engine in Russia.
  32. DuckDuckGo discounts its censorship by proclaiming, “The whole point of DuckDuckGo is privacy.” But, meddling with our right to seek information, is not an act of privacy.
  33. Many of us used DuckDuckGo because we thought that it offered unbiased and uncensored search results. Apparently, their promise of privacy was only a half-truth. And, is a half-truth anything more than a lie?
  34. I will not willfully allow evil people to lie to me.
  35. I will not willfully allow evil people to mislead me.
  36. I will not willfully allow evil people to bully me into believing their views.
  37. I will not willfully allow evil people to invade my privacy.

DuckDuckGo, however, does have the right, if they so choose, to invade your privacy when you use their services, and to censor the results they give you. But, we don’t have to tolerate this. This is the WORLDWIDE web. There are many non-American options for online services. We are in no way confined to the privacy invading, censoring organizations that we are allowing to rule America. That is why I am casting DuckDuckGo into the abyss with Google and others.
