duckduckgo.com is a search engine that doesn't create profiles based on search terms, and they donate to digital rights orgs every year. I feel honored they selected CRACKED LABS this year. This will help us A LOT to further challenge commercial data exploitation! 🚀

Die Suchmaschine duckduckgo.com ist gegen Google ein Zwerg, aber sammelt keine Daten über Suchbegriffe & spendet jedes Jahr an globale Privacy-Initiativen. Mit NOYB und meiner Organisation Cracked Labs gehen 2019 gleich 2 Spenden nach Wien. Ist auch eine Auszeichnung 🙂
