What is there to make you believe otherwise? I certainly hope you don't take their public statements at face value just because you haven't heard the name before, and overt 'collusion' is hardly necessary. Quite simply your best, and really only, option is to assume the worst, especially if they attract a significant audience. It's strictly business. That is something you can take to the bank. A warm fluffy press release doesn't cut it. Like it or not, google, et al, has you.
But what's even sadder about this article is that people actually believe there is only Chrome and Firefox (which is republican, and which is the democrat?), both trying to out-duplicate each other. Netscape has proven stability and a comfy familiar interface for over 20 years. And since nobody is really resisting anyway, getting all verklempt over google is just not worth the trouble.
Though I guess we do have to thank the silly child for highlighting the fact that we've given the executive too much power.
Well, the FDA does serve the execute branch and must follow its whims. We could put them, and things like international treaties, under congressional authority. That would be interesting.
And it is totally understandable that when someone is exposed to media that is 180 degrees off their political echo chamber... whatever that is... they woudl[sic] see that as "fake news." They'd see it as biased and not trust it.
Totally understandable...
Yes, As Pavlov and Skinner proved in their labs. From single cell lifeforms all the way up, conditioning is everything. Expecting 'integrity' would be going against nature.
But by and large its just hostile presentation or obscure information.
Precisely... Unfortunately presentation is the message to most people.
Hardly matters as they laugh their way to the bank. Being slimy has proven to be quite rewarding. When doing your Pavlovian/Skinner experiments, do you punish the dog for hitting the correct button?
Yeah, but then the gun could go off in the wreck, light the gas tank on fire (something a Pinto can do with the differential), and burn down the whole neighborhood because Trump didn't want to buy sprinklers. Do you want that kind of blood on your hands?
The problem is that it's open, distributed, optionally self hosted. How do the authorities control the content and access on/to such a service? To them, those kind of liberties are not 'Good For Society'. The reasons why seem self evident to me.

I suppose that couple happen if the voters ever stop reelecting Disney representatives to congress.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Intentional 'stupidity' is malicious.
Even Edward Snowden recommended it.
Like that's supposed to mean something...
*sigh* I guess people will dance to anything...
Unless Startpage is colluding with Google

So if there is any tracking with Startpage (against what they claim) then at least it is not from Google.
Again, how do you know that? Who ever said you have to go to google.com to be tracked by google?
Same results, no tracking.
Yeah? How do you verify that?
Firefox started out as a stripped down Netscape. And now it's even more bloated. It was never 'great'.
Because Seamonkey doesn't even exist.
Since when was Oracle run by 'software geeks'?
:-) Obviously a very important word is missing there...
Yeah, well, for sure they understand English.

Under civil forfeiture law, the vehicle is guilty. It will spend the rest of its life in the pound

Oh give me LAN, lots of LAN...
This is why we need to find a way around the service provider. They are the weak link.

I have to admit the color tones were nicely done, but please...
'Public opinion' is more accurately reflected in the accountant's spreadsheets than in the tabloids.

People do not feel the consequences of their actions.
As the 95% reelection rate confirms. The source of all the government's problems is something you always have with you.
This is just the beginning.. Watch for 128K
Wires are ugly.
Guess which one Assad approved?
The one that came with an offer he can't refuse
