We been there before! Google’s “Don’t be Evil” made everyone trust google until it came up they are working for all sorts of LE. Now its Duck supposed to be secure.

Let me say again what I said multiple times: unless they are incorporated in some offshore or Switzerland, and none of their servers are on US soil (they are), then they either must work with the US government or US government using NSA already sees and read all your searches and can pinpoint them directly to you. They may even be forced by government to lie to their clients/users telling them we don’t spy or log your searches. Any other idea that in modern world american company working on american soil can build a web search engine that doesn’t give out / leak / cooperate with US government is very naive.
