#tech commentary

An inventor developed plastic-to-fuel technology but chose not to patent it because he believes the patent system is corrupt or would obstruct, exploit, or suppress the innovation. The broader message reflects distrust of institutions that control ownership, commercialization, and access to transformative technology.

Google decided to change the contract with its users unilaterally. Google search will be taking away links to sources and giving AI results, creating a layer between our content and people looking for it. DuckDuckGo can be the company that fills the void, IF they keep the bargain they make with their users.

Google is starting the next attack on the participatory web we all use: ‘Your site, your work no longer matters. We'll only let it be found through our new “personal shopper” AI layer.’

They no longer care about indexing the world’s knowledge. The role of Internet librarian is up for grabs, and is very rewarding.

Google wants to limit access to our information, and are doing so unilaterally. DuckDuckGo can claim a huge part of the user base that values an open web IF they value those users.

Keep the focus on privacy. Expand search results. Do what you say you will.
