Big companies want our data without leaving us any other choice. Yes, it is almost an extortion, because if we do not agree to the privacy policies of these companies, we do not get any opportunities to use their services. In the past, secret services had to spend a lot of time gathering people’s data, but today people voluntarily give it away.
Your data is worth its weight in gold!
Google stores your search and uses it to display personalized advertising. So, you shop where Google wants and eat at restaurants Google has chosen for you. Your behavior is being monitored, stored, and then analyzed. So your hit list or search results are manipulated and adapted.
Swisscows is a centralised search service whilst (if you trust no-one) Searx is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, Searx can be used over Tor for online anonymity.
