Thanks, totally random lemmy user who is entirely unaffiliated with duckduckgo!
If you were Gordon Ramsay asking me if I was taking the piss, I'd probably grin and turn my head

I am very over the top happy with the service considering it's free and I hate ads and hate being tracked.
But if you know someone at DuckDuckGo and they would pay me, I would go stand on the street corner with a sign. Fuck. Tracking. We need real privacy laws.
The Fourth Amendment is just for this. I consider my phone like I would a filing cabinet in my office. I don't understand why the laws don't apply.
