Data privacy is going to become a luxury. This is why the mission of teams like DuckDuckGo, GrapheneOS and more, is so important

next in: trolling by google search.

A.K.A. salting your search history with invidious gems.

e.g. google "how to sneak into PD breakroom and put laxative on all the donuts" , and many more

Safe against unreasonable search and seizure... unless literally any corporate entity sees you.

The first thing I do when installing a new browser is to change the default search engine. I recommend Ecosia and DuckDuckGo but Brave Search for the most private options.

Why do you think Brave Search is more private?

Because they promise to not be evil. Oh, wait that was someone else.

A better headline would be, "Google helped the suspect find their victim and then helped the police find their suspect"

How about, "Hording your users personal data in order to make ad sales more profitable is now more risky for those users than ever?"
