I'm glad that someone sees demand for privacy. I wish Mozilla would brand itself the same way; with their non-profit, public good mission, few could compete with them for user trust. That's how they can compete with FirefoxOS, Firefox for Android, and other products, IMHO -- it would be hard for Google and Apple to convince the public that privacy is their priority after all these years. Based on my limited knowledge…
I wonder if they would attempt to acquire Duck Duck Go. It would be a smart move for them on many levels

What is your beef with Apple about privacy?
it seems odd that the same people flock to google for privacy when google's entire business model rests on selling or farming it's users data in various ways. (where-as apples is selling products which you pay for)
I've said before that Apple has a business model that is capable of being privacy conscious- so I'm more willing to trust them than google.
it just seems like some very well placed propaganda.

They have done the opposite as of today, the changed their BOSS API, the main data source of Duck Duck Go, from free to $1.80 per 1000 queries: https://developer.yahoo.com/boss/search/ (There is a section "Who's using Yahoo BOSS" -> Duck Duck Go, and a "Pricing" section below)

I don't really get it. Is it because you feel the need to root for your favorite or something? Either way, it's a fallacy that brings nothing to the discussion.
Today, Yahoo changed the pricing for their BOSS search API from free to $1.80 per 1000 queries (the main data source of DuckDuchGo search, and other startups): https://developer.yahoo.com/boss/search/ and https://policies.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/terms/product-atos/bo... (the free API "Limited Web" has been discontinued as of June 1st, 2015)

For some reason every time somebody criticizes Google, somebody ends up making the argument that Apple is worse and vice-versa. I don't really get it. Is it because you feel the need to root for your favorite or something? Either way, it's a fallacy that brings nothing to the discussion.
It's more propaganda than fallacy, but I'd agree it is questionable what it brings to the discussion.
