DuckDuckGo Search Engine Not As Private As You Think

 From Bleeping Computer.com "

"DuckDuckGo browser allows Microsoft trackers due to search agreement"

The privacy-focused DuckDuckGo browser purposely allows Microsoft trackers on third-party sites due to an agreement in their syndicated search content contract between the two companies.

 DuckDuckGo allowed trackers related to the bing.com and linkedin.com domains while blocking all other trackers.

In spite of what you may think, or see in their ads, you are NOT PRIVATE when you use DuckDuckGo.

Google can determine what sites you visited and the searches you made.

The government can determine your search and browsing history.

Is DuckDuckGo really private?

DuckDuckGo proved it themselves that there is no such thing as a private search engine.

The REAL Reason Elon Musk Put Twitter Deal On Hold

 Elon Musk. Nobody can argue the guy is brilliant and thinks 5 steps ahead of everyone else.

 

Today he announced that the deal to buy Twitter is on hold.

They are saying " Elon Musk put his $44-billion deal for Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) "temporarily on hold" on Friday while he awaits data on the proportion of its fake accounts"

Everyone knows Twitter is loaded with bots. 

So could there be ANOTHER reason why the deal is hold? I think so.

Elon absolutely KNEW that Twitter was filled with bots. He cannot be surprised about this.

He sold BILLIONS worth of Tesla stock before and after he announced this tender offer. The share price of TSLA is now 30-40% lower.

This guy is a visionary...he knew the market was in trouble months ago.

So...

1. He got MUCH HIGHER prices for TSLA stock while the due diligence was taking place.

2. He knew Twitter was loaded with fake accounts.

3. He tells everyone deal is on hold due to misleading figures.

4. The Twitter management team is going to called out for this discrepancy.

5. He can get Twitter for much less.

The guy is brilliant. 

Think this was all part of a plan?

 Facebook plans to reduce hiring.

From CNBC.com

"Wehner reiterated to investors that privacy changes Apple instituted on its iOS devices last year will hurt growth, after the company had already predicted the move would reduce revenue this year by $10 billion."

Those "privacy changes" are impacting more companies and industries than just Facebook.

Not only do they prevent Facebook from tracking users across their apps on the iPhone, but the new privacy features will have enormous ramifications for email marketing companies.

“Mail Privacy Protection hides your IP address, so senders can’t link it to your other online activity or determine your location. 

And it prevents senders from seeing if and when you’ve opened their email.” Apple

It basically sends an email into a "holding tank" so it appears that EVERY email has been opened.
