We knew that Google was corrupt. Their search is corrupt. They make a ton of money, and it all hinges on using their search engine for free. Free certainly isn’t “free”.
Other search engines are around, like Bing. Yahoo is still out there. Then, along came Duck Duck Go. They were supposedly anonymous and not tracking you across the web. Their traffic has gone up as people increasingly value privacy.
Search engines should decide for you. They should just give you what you searched for and let you decide what to click. DDG decided to change it. Like all the other big social media companies, they decided to join the censorship cabal. It’s not a surprise. It’s not as if DDG is run, or funded by people who are even center-right politically. They are hard-core lefties.
Fortunately, there is another alternative. I have been using Freespoke with good success. It’s unbiased, won’t track you and it is run by people who won’t bend to the social media cabal. Freespoke was started because of the social media cabal that will censor. Here is their motto:
We exist because the search results you’re looking for shouldn’t be buried on page 6, if they’re allowed to appear at all. Google, Amazon, and Facebook have too much power over the information we see. We can hardly search, buy a product, or send a message without their influence. Unfortunately, we’re seeing the world as they want us to see it, not the way it actually is. We are the search alternative for the folks who believe the heart of America deserves a voice. One that does not pander to the overly sensitive. One that believes the rights and liberties our nation was founded on are worth protecting.
Give Freespoke a try.
Give it a try, but more importantly tell your friends. Share it on social media too
Freespoke (which uses Microsoft search technology) censors some websites that google doesn't censor. So I don't buy it that freespoke is better. For example, do a google search for the following:
site:waliberals.org compendium provoked
Google returns a link to "How the U.S. provoked Russia in Ukraine: A Compendium." But if you do the same search on freespoke you get nothing. Likewise, bing returns just "Some results have been removed" with a link to an explanation that it censors some results they don't like. So, I am skeptical about freespoke. Has anyone analyzed their coverage and censorship?
