Let’s get this straight.

Google publishes maps that are inaccurate. They were informed of the inaccuracies multiple times, yet did nothing. Subsequently, someone died following their incorrect maps that they couldn’t be bothered to fix — despite the fact that a fucked bridge is clearly potentially super dangerous.

And you think this has “literally nothing” to do with Google?

Are you a shareholder or something? That’s some hardcore corporate arse-kissing, imo.

I’d love to hear how you think that would work.

Makes sense. He’s a sprinter.

Dragsters also don’t do NASCAR races.

That depends very heavily on what your searching for.

If you’re a programmer or similar, like the poster you’re replying to appears to be, then you absolutely will find DDG crap compared to Google.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but if I have a tech question, I usually skip it and go straight to Google.

Really. It’s a collapsed death bridge, FFS.

These “vandals” should have needed industrial machinery to remove the barriers that should have been there.

The same thing is going on everywhere, tbh.

Right-wing populist arseholes are gaining traction because the political mainstream has just been fucking us all over for decades.

Thing is, Google is also (still) just better.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but I find myself repeating searches with Google so often, I wrote a userscript to add a “Search with Google” link to the top of the DDG search results.

First of all, these protocols don’t allow for backdoors

Doesn’t matter, tbh. The entire problem of giving governments (or whoever) a backdoor is that there’s no way to make it only available to the “good guys”.

If Apple and co did put in backdoors to satisfy the Brits, the first thing every other government on earth would do is legislate itself access to the backdoor.

With or without a proper backdoor, this law breaks the tech.
