From StartPage with love

IT HAS been a while since we last touched the StartPage saga and little has changed. StartPage is still owned/controlled by a surveillance company and it is trying to muzzle/squash/discredit its critics.

"At this moment in time we do know for a fact about the conflict (some are more upfront about this than others), but we just don't know the full extent of it."Based on our understanding, as well as evidence we have but cannot divulge at this time, StartPage made job offers to people who are in a potential position to relist the company in privacy sites. In a sense, they're trying to pay their way into re-acceptance, without disclosing pertinent details. It's possible that some of these people are already on StartPage's payroll because they refuse to answer very simple questions.

At this moment in time we do know for a fact about the conflict (some are more upfront about this than others), but we just don't know the full extent of it. This corrupts or at least erodes trust in groups which claim to advance privacy agenda. If they receive money from surveillance companies, what does that tell us about them? Maybe some time soon we'll be able to publicly name the culprits, too. ⬆
