they live glasses but for tech industry comment pieces 😎

Reddit’s deal with Google, Hayhurst said, makes it harder to offer these alternative ways of searching the web.

“It's part of a wider trend, isn't it?” he said. “It concerns us greatly. The web has been gradually killed and eroded. I don't want to make too much of a generalization, but this didn't help the small guys.”

the google algo leak has definitely furthered a bad feeling in the seo community, we observed some of it in one of our latest blog posts

using windows in 2024? that's...

more likely to have zombies than privacy using that setting 🧟

mojeek launched in 2004 on 2 donated servers, on broadband, from our founder's bedroom, what a journey!

2. Actually we weren’t tracking people from the start, which means we’re actually celebrating almost how many years? 🤔

18
20 ✅
25
30

Founded in November of 2004, so 20 whole years when that comes around - there's another birthday later on this year 😄 2/11

For our 18th Privacy Birthday (last week) we put out a quiz. That quiz is now closed; so now let's see if you got the answers 🤓

Q1. Mojeek’s privacy policy (2006) was the first of its kind for a search engine 🤔

True ✅
False

(most all of you got this! 🎉) 1/11

5. Which language is Mojeek predominantly written in?🤔

C++
C ✅
Python
Rust

some of you have looked at the about page! That's right, Mojeek is mostly C ❤️🇨 5/11

4. How long does it take to read the Mojeek privacy policy?🤔

3 minutes ✅
5 minutes
7 minutes

that's right, we keep it short because your time is valuable (and it doesn't take too long to say "no tracking, all good") ⏳ 4/11

3. What kind of tactics did we say we personally did not like (we still don’t) back in 2006? 🤔

snooping
big brother ✅
surveillance capitalist

we don't like any of them, but big brother is correct (see the pic) 📺 3/11

look, hear me out here... 🤣

this is what mojeekbot looks like when protecting you from big tech and trackers online 🤺
