"Hello [to] a world where Google isn’t a verb anymore, as a result of all its many self-inflicted errors," says Andy Meek. "...Gen Z is the first digitally native generation, a generation that was also the focus of a new Bernstein Research study published in recent days. And that generation’s 'de-verbing' of Google matters, because for them? It’s a reflection of the fact that Google is simply no longer the useful one-stop-shop for information that it was in the good old day."
To Gen Z, Google is just a relic - not a verb anymore

"Data breaches are a seemingly endless scourge with no simple answer, but the breach in recent months of the background-check service National Public Data illustrates just how dangerous and intractable they have become," warns Lily Hay Newman.

"Google and Meta made a secret deal to target advertisements for Instagram to teenagers on YouTube, skirting the search company’s own rules for how minors are treated online."

🔸U.S. Judge Rules Google's Monopoly is Illegal🔸 Statement on the U.S. v. Google ruling: Judge Amit Mehta issued an historic ruling today saying in no uncertain terms: "Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly." Google has used its monopoly power to block meaningful competition in the search market by putting a stranglehold on major distribution points for more than a decade. So even though DuckDuckGo provides something valuable that people want and Google won't provide — real privacy protection online — Google makes it difficult to use DuckDuckGo by default. We applaud this landmark decision and the important work of the Department of Justice and state Attorneys General to enforce our antitrust laws. The journey ahead will be long. As we are seeing in the EU and other places, Google will do anything it can to avoid changing its conduct. However, we know there is a pent up demand for alternatives in search and this ruling will support access to more options.

Online protection without tradeoffs — that's what you can expect from us. 💪 🦆 Some of our latest improvements to our browser, private search engine, and Privacy Pro subscription service include: *Picture-in-picture function to Duck Player (which allows you to watch YouTube without targeted ads or recommendations). *DuckDuckGo AI Chat (duck.ai), an anonymous way to access popular AI chatbots, separate from search. *Added 23 new server locations to the DuckDuckGo VPN (part of our Privacy Pro subscription service). *Our Windows browser now supports spell check for all editable fields within a website. *On our Android browser, we added a setting that allows you to view any website in dark mode, regardless of whether the site offers it. *We made it easier to view and change your anonymous local search area. There's more where this came from — check out all the updates here: duckduckgo.com/updates
