Good crypto doesn't care about their laws.

It's their guns you have to worry about. The violence of the state is what keeps us insecure.

There exists. It's called startpage.com It uses Google search but keeps you anonymous. You request data from startpage, they request the same data from Google and deliver via their server. With millions of search from different users, it's not possible to single out a particular user. It is even the default search engine in Tor browser.

You're still required to give inherent trust to the proxy service. You have no guarantee that you aren't being logged. So you're actually doubling the amount of blind trust you have to hand out... first to the man in the middle startpage, then to google.

It's a workaround, not a solution.

Half the reason Google is shit is that it filters your results. Goign to another site to get Google results is missing the point. Searx is a good private search.

It may be worth looking into YaCy. It is a decentralized P2P open source search engine you run on your own computer. It doesn't store searches and they cannot be censored. I don't think it is anywhere near as fast and refined as google yet, but I think something like this may be the best option for replacing google in the future. There is no central server for the government to control.

I don't understand how Google had better search algorithms 15 years ago than DDG has now. I try switching every year or so, but goddamn their search just sucks. It shits the bed if you give it a query that requires even mild parsing and grouping of terms. God help you if you're looking for information that isn't common knowledge or is a deep query into an API, SDK, or aspect of an engineering discipline.

You're probably fucked with google on all of those fronts these days as well since, you know, they're a pathetic excuse compared to what and how they offered 15 years ago as well.

It is really amazing how many stupids are in position to take very dangerous decisions like this one. Who is the stupid judge/court members that agreed with this? Did he go to a special school for handicapped persons? Who is responsible to have given him/her such power? Weren't there checks in place to avoid a stupid like this one to get so much power?

"Smile"

"Sir, you need to smile for your photo."

"No, that looks like a grimace of pain. Can you try again?"

"Ugh, fuck! Not quite. Uh, once more?"

"Good enough."

Sooner or later the judge his own google search history will be openly publicized.

This was posted in Hackernews a week ago. So the title is very misleading. The police are not asking for all the results of every search from the city. They're asking for all the searches for a specific person, from IP addresses geographically located in and around the city, along with tons of insane information Google probably doesn't have. They're requesting it to help solve an identity theft case that cost a man thousands of dollars.

Inquire google about the victim because the criminal certainly inquired google about the victim. Makes sense. Nothing can go wrong.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying the article title is misleading.

Just from the description there, it sounds no different to "this credit card has been compromised, where else was it used?"

If the guy lives in city A and they're asking about searches from his logged-in accounts originating from IPs in city B, then that sounds like a good way to narrow down where the culprit might be. There's a fair chance it's happening with the consent of the guy whose data's being requested, too, which changes the situation considerably.

All this is telling me is that a smart person would use a public internet access point and not do this from home.

Start doing searches via vpn using real cop's names and tying them to crimes or gay dating sites.
