    Well, Andisearch is from an Californian startup, but I use it because its strong active privacy protection, full GDPR compliant, apart of their clear statement against the surveillance capitalism and biased AI’s from big corporations. Because this it’s the exeption for me to use also an US service, also because accurate results with sources.

    … We’re a small team of two founders (Angela and Jed) and some friends. We’re on a mission to unbreak the Internet and save the world from spam, misinformation and ad tech.

    Search is broken because of misinformation, SEO spam and ads, and surveillance capitalism. It hasn’t changed in 20 years. Things are getting worse. The rise of GPT-based chatbots that confidently generate accurate-sounding “BS” with made-up sources is driving misinformation through the roof.

        Yes, with good reasons, but if there are not logged or stored cloud data or only user site ee2e encrypted one, this Backdoor lead to nothing or even only to encrypted data, nothing else apart of an raised middle finger. Searches with Andi are not even stored in your browser history, there only appears that you used Andi for search, but not what.

          There are no good reasons for pervasive government surveillance. Especially not without a warrant. Fuck that shit. It’s all about control.

            Only exist one valid reason for gov surveillance, as in the EU in a crime investigation, the only manner that they are alowwed to access the data of an user with an court order. Mass surveillance is illegal. This in the EU, but the problem is that the US and the UK are not the EU, and their user don’t have this protection if it isn’t protected by the app they use (encrypted, no knowledge tech).

              Yes, and the jurisdiction counts too. I still don’t understand for example, why Wikipedia still is based in the US, when there are much freer options.

              And… even with surveillance, I think police needs a reform. Right now cops are biased in favour of repressive forces, to dismantle liberty and order, in favour of chaotic surveillance.

                Yes, but it’s the first and most used with the most content. It’s like eg. with YouTube, there are better alternatives respect conditions and privacy, but nobody and nothing else have even slighly the amount of contents as YouTube. This is why it is important to pass to EU alternatives, but even so it is a task for many years until it will be on level eye a real alternative to the US hegemony in a lot of services. They was too long the reference in the use of internet, to the point to use googeling as sinonym for web searches. Now it’s late and only the way to combat big US monopolies, which will not be easy and fast to do.
