When you search Google
DuckDuckGo positioniert sich auf dem Markt als eine Suchmaschine, bei der die Privatsphäre ihrer Nutzer an erster Stelle steht. Aus diesem Grund werden keine IP-Adressen gespeichert, keine Informationen über User geloggt und Cookies nur verwendet, wenn absolut notwendig. Weinberg sagt "DuckDuckGo sammelt oder teilt standardmäßig keine persönlichen Informationen. Das ist kurz gesagt unsere Datenschutzrichtlinie."[19] Weinberg hat die Qualität seiner Suchmaschine dahingehend weiterentwickelt, dass Suchergebnisse für Firmen, die, wie er glaubt, reine Inhaltsmühlen sind, wie z. B. Demand Medias eHow, ausgefiltert werden. Dort werden täglich 4.000 Artikel veröffentlicht, die von selbstständigen und dafür bezahlten Autoren produziert werden. Weinberg bezeichnet diese Inhalte als "schlechte Qualität, ausschließlich dafür erstellt, die Seite beim Google-Suchindex weit nach oben zu bringen". DuckDuckGo versucht ebenso eHow-Resultate zu filtern sowie auch Ergebnisse mit Seiten, die sehr viel Werbung beinhalten.

Scroogle’s Gone - Here’s Who Still Offers Private Searching
You’ve probably read the news already that Scroogle is gone forever. It launched back in 2003 and was popular among searchers who wanted to get Google search results in a private setting.
Now that it’s gone, where can searchers go for a more private search experience than Google and Bing offer by default? Here’s a list of a few alternatives. Note that different search engines below make different privacy-related claims; I haven’t investigated them in detail — i.e., by examining cookies, etc. — so anyone looking for a private search experience should do his/her own research.

Google and Facebook bypassing Safari security
Google, Facebook and other advertising networks have been caught using a workaround to circumvent security settings on Apple's Safari and Safari Mobile browsers.
The workaround enables them to deposit cookies on a user's computer, regardless of whether the browser is set to prevent it.
By default, Safari is set to only accept cookies from directly visited sites, blocking cookies from all others.

Google won't delay new privacy policy despite EU concerns
Europe's data protection watchdog wants more time to investigte the Internet giant's policy change
Google does not plan to delay its new privacy policy despite calls from Europe's data protection watchdog.
The Article 29 Working Party (A29 WP), made up of the data regulators from all European Union member states as well as the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), sent a letter to Google saying that the Internet giant should "pause" before going ahead with the planned changes to its privacy policy. In January Google announced that it would "simplify" its privacy regulations as of March 1. This would create a single privacy policy for all its services including YouTube, Gmail and Google+.

Google to Censor Blogger Blogs on a ‘Per Country Basis’
Google has quietly announced changes to its Blogger free-blogging platform that will enable the blocking of content only in countries where censorship is required.
Twitter announced technology last week addressing the same topic. It said it had acquired the ability to censor tweets in the countries only where it was ordered removed, instead of on an internet-wide basis.

Google will alles über dich wissen
Die Suchmaschine verkauft es als Super-Service, Datenschützer sind skeptisch. Google will alle persönlichen Nutzerdaten verknüpfen und zu einem neuen Dienst kombinieren. Das Unternehmen soll zum Assistenten des Nutzers werden, dem man sich ganz und gar anvertraut.
Google Chart zeigen hat große Pläne für die Nutzung seines gigantischen Datenschatzes: Der Suchmaschinenkonzern will zum persönlichen Assistenten seiner Nutzer werden. Künftig soll der Google-Nutzer automatisch gewarnt werden, wenn er sich beim Namen eines Freundes vertippt hat. Auch soll er benachrichtigt werden, wenn er zu spät zu einem im Kalender vermerkten Termin zu kommen droht, weil auf der Fahrstrecke Stau herrscht.

Google To Start Tracking Users Across Services
An announcement was posted yesterday on the official Google blog that indicates that changes are being made to Google’s privacy policies and terms of service. What first looks like a reasonable thing to do is in fact something that will keep privacy advocates up at night. Google will merge their privacy policies, of which about 60 are now available, into one main privacy policy. This on first glance is good from a user perspective, as it improves the privacy policy’s accessibility.

Google Launches Google Music
More than six months after the launch of Music Beta by Google, the internet giant's Google Music has officially launched, featuring a new mp3 store linked to their cloud-based storage service. The company made the announcement at an event in L.A. yesterday that featured a performance by Drake.
The online shop, which is part of Android Market, functions like the iTunes store or Amazon. It allows users to share one free play of purchased songs with their friends on Google+, Google's social networking service. As The New York Times reports, Warner Music Group is the only major label that has not reached an agreement with Google Music to sell their catalog yet. As Billboard points out, Google Music also includes a service that allows independent artists to sell their music directly to customers.

Google: No Private Google+ Profiles for You!
Privacy advocates have held Facebook's feet to the fire on several occasions over various privacy issues that have crept up since its inception, and if Google's to truly become a Facebook killer, the sultan of search would be wise not to follow in Zuckerberg's footsteps. It's interesting, then, that Google has decided to ban private Google+ profiles, requiring users to make their profiles public or face account deletion.

MPAA threatens to disconnect Google from the Internet
Over the last few months, Google has received more than 100 copyright infringement warnings from MPAA-affiliated movies studios: most are directed at users of Google's public Wi-Fi service but others are meant for Google employees. The MPAA is thus warning the search giant that it might get disconnected from the Internet.
"Copyright infringement also violates your ISP's terms of service and could lead to limitation or suspension of your Internet service. You should take immediate action to prevent your Internet account from being used for illegal activities," the movie companies write in various letters, according to TorrentFreak. Although the copyright holders use strong language, these notices are nothing simply warnings, and typically do not lead to legal action.
