The big ad-tech companies know how to sell ads without damaging privacy, but they choose not to.
Nothing Can Stop Google. DuckDuckGo Is Trying Anyway.
Reblogged from azspot
In late November, hotel conglomerate Marriott International disclosed that the personal information of some 500 million customers — including home addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers —…
This, in a nutshell, is DuckDuckGo’s proposition: “The big tech companies are taking advantage of you by selling your data. We won’t.” In effect, it’s an anti-sales sales pitch. DuckDuckGo is perhaps the most prominent in a number of small but rapidly growing firms attempting to make it big — or at least sustainable — by putting their customers’ privacy and security first. And unlike the previous generation of privacy products, such as Tor or SecureDrop, these services are easy to use and intuitive, and their user bases aren’t exclusively composed of political activists, security researchers, and paranoiacs. The same day Weinberg and I spoke, DuckDuckGo’s search engine returned results for 33,626,258 queries — a new daily record for the company. Weinberg estimates that since 2014, DuckDuckGo’s traffic has been increasing at a rate of “about 50 percent a year,” a claim backed up by the company’s publicly available traffic data.

Five Reasons to Avoid Google & Facebook
1. H y p e r - Targeted Ads — Already sounds creepy, right? These are those ads that follow you around the web, offering you deals on products you searched for a month ago.
2. Propaganda & Discrimination — These ads go beyond merely selling us stuff. They slice and dice us into small groups and target us with misleading messages, with the goal of influencing our political opinions and actions.
3. Filter Bubbles — This manipulation goes beyond just ads. Search results and news feeds are endlessly optimized and tailored to deliver you the results that, surprise surprise, you are likely to engage with the most. Why? Because it’s more lucrative for Google and Facebook. But when you personalize the facts, you distort reality.
