Yep. Save reason I won't use Kagi and I don't use AI much. Surveillance capitalism will only ever lead to authoritarianism and dystopia. I don't want anything to do with it.
You can't trust any company to not sell you out and pick your carcass clean.
Isn’t kagi's point that they store very little about you to the point there no search history and you have to pay for the service provided?
If their code isn't open source, and your searches aren't encrypted in such a way that their logging of them isn't an option, why should you believe them? It's not like there's some precedence that corporations face any legitimate consequences for their crimes. Unless they steal from the wealthy, any consequences will be less than the profits from their crimes.
According to them.
Can you cite me some instances of surveillance from Kagi? Genuinely asking.
What do you use instead of Kagi?
Also you can search without tying your searches to your account with Kagi.
