- CNET: DuckDuckGo Is More Than Just a Search Engine Now [cnet.com]
"If you're doing something online, you're probably being tracked," writes Adam Benjamin. "Whether you're shopping, subscribing or scrolling on social media, companies are generally looking to scoop up your data so they can get more from advertisers. DuckDuckGo wants to help you avoid that, offering a suite of privacy-focused tools and features, including its privacy-focused web browser."
In the news...
- This Is the Best Privacy Setting That Almost No One Is Using [washingtonpost.com]
"A proposed law that passed California’s legislature is a serious step up [for privacy]. It’s essentially a legal mandate on Google and Apple — which own the dominant web browsers and smartphone systems — to provide the one-click privacy option to millions more people," reports Shira Ovide.
Of course, the DuckDuckGo browser never tracks you by default, no additional clicks needed. Try it out on desktop and mobile and start taking back your privacy today.
- Therapy Sessions Exposed by Mental Health Care Firm’s Unsecured Database [wired.com]
Reporter Jeremiah Fowler discover "thousands of people's highly sensitive health details, including audio and video of therapy sessions, were openly accessible on the internet, new research has revealed. The cache of information, associated with a US health care firm, included more than 120,000 files and more than 1.7 million activity logs." Matt Burgess reports.
- To Gen Z, Google Is Just a Relic Not a Verb Anymore [bgr.com]
"Hello [to] a world where Google isn’t a verb anymore, as a result of all its many self-inflicted errors," says Andy Meek. "Born between 1997 and 2012, Gen Z is the first digitally native generation, a generation that was also the focus of a new Bernstein Research study published in recent days. And that generation’s 'de-verbing' of Google matters, because for them? It’s a reflection of the fact that Google is simply no longer the useful one-stop-shop for information that it was in the good old day."
We think it's time to add "duck it" to the dictionary.
