"... to highlight quality information..."
i'm disappointed to hear all this, though it's not yet clear to me whether I should avoid duckduckgo or not.
"Quality" implies a judgement, so who's doing the judging?
And with respect to "curating," isn't there some kind of legal complulsion to store data? This is all new to me, but aren't phone companies required to keep records of phone transactions for law enforcement purposes? I'm thinking there might be an analogy there.
Legal requirements aside, aren't there strong profit motivations to "curate" search information, just as there are strong profit motivations to just say that you don't, even though you do?
Call this paranoia, or call it geriatric experience, but I learned long ago to not 100% completely trust anything where there is more than one single dollar involved.
