If I say no and revoke my consent, and they do it anyway …

Can you afford enough lawyers to prove it?

Justice is the original pay to win game. Seems its out of our budget though.

Let’s DuckDuckGOOOOOOO!

For now.

DDG gets search results from Bing, owned by Microsoft. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the later did the same as Google did.

That’s technically true, but it’s as misleading as saying they get their search results from Yandex. Their results are aggregated from several search engines, not just Bing. They also have their own web crawler, DuckDuckBot, which absolutely respects RobotRules.

Edit: I’m told my information is out of date. No more Yandex because of Uncle Sam. Yahoo is just Bing now, so that index doesn’t count anymore. The bulk of the rest of their sources are largely inconsequential specialized search engines. Their sources page states that they “largely source from Bing”.

lvxferre ,

Fair point.

There’s an article from this spring’s 2600 magazine that claims it’s all Bing results. I haven’t dug through their Python code and I’m definitely no expert anyway, but I’d also prefer not to post an article from a small independent magazine like that to let the people on Lemmy who do know more than me take a look.

Where is your evidence for that? It used to be Bing and Yandex, but now it’s just Bing. They use other non search engine APIs and do a small amount of crawling AFAIK. Details of who uses what here: seirdy.one/…/search-engines-with-own-indexes/

I read it on their sources page at some point, but it looks like that page has changed since last I looked.

DuckDuckGo is just Bing. Which is uh.. going from Google to Microsoft. Maybe not much better either
