A @vivaldibrowser survey shows search engine privacy & neutrality are very important to over 80% of users. Our search is always private with no filter bubble, + Vivaldi is using our Tracker Radar to further protect your privacy: https://t.co/CY7xsO4Qud https://t.co/gJNUVDz7Lr — PolitiTweet.org

A data breach of millions of people had private info about where they've been, where people met, their social media sites, & more. @_andrew_griffin says the data's origin is so far a mystery. Check https://t.co/FLc5zB9exT to see if your data was leaked. https://t.co/kgGjT1owFp — PolitiTweet.org

People are acting on their privacy concerns globally — not just in the US & EU. A new study shows Brazilians are growing more concerned: 74% tried removing personal data online & 96% of believe companies don't do enough to protect their personal info. https://t.co/myTx3AJeSY — PolitiTweet.org

@peteduncanson Hi Pete. We get our revenue mostly through advertising. We serve private, non-tracking ads next to search results, based on the keyword you search for only – not on any personal profile or search history (which we don't have anyway).

Be aware of the apps your kids use & how their data is being handled. “For years, TikTok ignored the children’s privacy law, thereby ensnaring perhaps millions of underage children in its marketing apparatus, & putting them at risk of sexual predation.” https://t.co/SSxF9WuUHs — PolitiTweet.org

Preference menus can work and this remedy deserves the opportunity to be done right. Unless this is the next evolution of Android phones, there's no excuse not to provide more search options on the first screen. (6/6) https://t.co/PrTT9Yl8R3 — PolitiTweet.org

In our proposal, Google alternatives with the most market share are shown on the first screen, randomly ordered. Additional alternatives are available by scrolling, randomly ordered. Google is placed on the last screen. (5/6) https://t.co/fXszob5Ol5 — PolitiTweet.org

DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo

We also ran our own study on scrolling behavior. We found 60% of people scroll past a first screen to see more search alternatives. That increases to 80% if Google is not on the first screen, which we recommend to maximize search competition. (4/6) https://t.co/2M1lBaoD4O — PolitiTweet.org

96% of Android phones in Europe can display at least 5 search engine options while still showing descriptions for them (Google's design shows no descriptions by default). And 51% can show six or more options. Just 4% can display only 4 options. (3/6) https://t.co/cVhbfPMD3B — PolitiTweet.org

We've gathered data showing that with unlimited options (available by scrolling) and better design (e.g. descriptions shown by default), 24% of people select Google alternatives, 8x the current 3% combined mobile market share of these alternatives. (2/6) https://t.co/h8pkQHCZNu — PolitiTweet.org

Google's search preference menu for Android in the EU is an auction with only 4 options. This creates false scarcity to boost its revenue and depress competition. A much better way to give consumers choice is to allow unlimited options, for free. (1/6) https://t.co/wkcIniM4oG — PolitiTweet.org

When coronavirus contact-tracing apps become widely available, do you plan to install one? — PolitiTweet.org

Phone-based scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and hard for even experts to detect. If you get a call from a financial institution, the best defense is to hang up and call them back, using a number you look up yourself online. https://t.co/Xy06g5LlOP — PolitiTweet.org

People often ask how we make money, so… When you use our private search engine, you sometimes get contextual ads based on a results page and not on any history/profile info (which we don’t have). It's a myth that you cannot be profitable AND private. https://t.co/9jEHdShX2f — PolitiTweet.org

Public health apps, e.g. for coronavirus, can only work if people trust them, and that trust has to be built on well-thought-out safeguards. Now is "a crucial time to decide what standards to have in place on how our data is handled," reports @alfredwkng. https://t.co/nr2CYqxkzQ — PolitiTweet.org

What do Spotify, Venmo, Tinder, TikTok & DoorDash have in common? Their apps all crashed last week because they send data to Facebook, and Facebook had a bug! Since tracking code is in so many apps, we strongly recommend deleting apps you rarely use. https://t.co/evK4mq695e — PolitiTweet.org

With more people working from home, more employers are invasively monitoring employees. It doesn't have to be this way. Our organization has been 100% remote for a decade without any monitoring. It's all about trust. https://t.co/qDKmjBTI6N — PolitiTweet.org

Before buying old phones, check if they can be updated with the latest privacy & security enhancements. Support can be short-lived for Android in particular. @Batteryhq explains the risks and, if you can't use a newer phone, how to protect yourself. https://t.co/sAT5pmetSc — PolitiTweet.org

Clearview AI (yes, them again) are now pitching their facial recognition technology to track people with coronavirus. Having your identity linked with your location & health records, without oversight, is a huge risk that cannot easily be undone. https://t.co/GD790riqrM — PolitiTweet.org

"All the new coronavirus protocols that companies are considering for their workers and customers – from contact tracing and temperature-taking to heat mapping and 'immunity passports' – have privacy and civil liberties implications." — @jenniferkingson https://t.co/LUPwZkZsrP — PolitiTweet.org
