They're making all of the right noises - if they're lying, it is very big and bald, and will bite them soon enough. And, since they state openly that they don't store any personal info (and assuming that they're not lying about it), if the government is getting data from them, it's a realtime stream - they might as well *be* the government. I think that fairly unlikely. In fact, this: "The second change is the search function. I changed the site's search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo, which doesn't even store IP addresses. Again, you have to trust them on that, but I'm inclined to." and "Fighting against the massive amount of surveillance data collected about us as we surf the Internet is hard, and possibly even fruitless. But I think it's important to try." from https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/03/changes_to_the.html Kurt
