You're basically anonymous when you use Tor (that's the whole point), so it doesn't matter in that case if whoever owns the server you're using is benign; whatever they might be passing along to the NSA most likely can't be connected to you, anyway. RMS made a good point some time ago: Surfboard Holdings *says* that Startpage is private, and DuckDuckGo *says* the DuckDuckGo search engine is private, but we have no way to verify that. I still prefer using Startpage rather than Google because of the filter bubble and Google being a much larger company than Surfboard Holdings, and I think there's evidence of misdeeds from Google where there isn't of Startpage and DuckDuckGo (though this is just a vague notion I have and might just be an assumption), but Startpage and DuckDuckGo shouldn't be trusted, much less construed to be solutions to the problem of privacy in searching the Web. - -- Website: http://onpon4.comule.com E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] XMPP: [email protected], [email protected] Diaspora: [email protected] Learn how to set up PGP with Thunderbird and send encrypted e-mails: https://www.enigmail.net/documentation/quickstart.php -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTIJGdAAoJELP1a+89AVMC+UcH/1FNNkKP/2Ymg7n4EfZf6038 y43VSbiRqp2oDpr8VrL0Y9pMyOnzzewUWOaCtZ4Rnc2k5RJTnbcbZ+57sqk5gg5O JAajEa6gXJih0w+NJ6eFBs1qnQDTjBmb+kk7mSOkXhnNNlcosi6RL3T1xJYBn0G7 cksJhtx48uBZNCXFnRJAEEl3PwU0UjZoUcoiM2FnkQS/RjHZAo1lGHn7pbarG8mN +39c7HLqznX14fdDd/GCdHCAMuad9NDQAvD3FjACC3KeuO0pofy3zGl0IEJU2Zvp fKzmqbiLoP+qe1tnVHzd+yoikVBuL07rpgA6EvZjh6sEd72DnNpF0xHwBBNrnjM= =044O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
