Questions About Physical Location & the Internet

[Joe]

A friend introduced me to duckduckgo. He said the problem with Google is this: suppose Charlie Conservative and Larry Liberal both independently do the same Google search from their home computers. They are likely to get vastly different results. Why? Because Google filters or manipulates the results of the search with their "profile" of each user. So Google will try to tell each user what Google thinks each user wants to hear. Because that is the best way to sell products to each user--do not challenge their prejudices or preconceptions. Because duckduckgo does not compile profiles of its users, its users can enjoy more objective search results.
