Privacy, simplified. This article is about the search engine. For children's play, see duck, duck, goose. Internet search engine DuckDuckGoScreenshot home page DuckDuckGo on 2018Type search engine siteWeb Unavailable inMultilingualHeadquarters20 Paoli PikePaoli, Pennsylvania, USA Area servedWorldwideOwnerDuck Duck Go, Inc., createdGabriel WeinbergURLduckduckgo.comAlexa rank 158 (October 2020 update) CommercialRegregedSeptember 25, 2008; 12 years ago (2008-09-25) was an Internet search engine that emphasized the privacy of search engines and avoided the filter bubble of personalized search results. DuckDuckGo differs from other search engines by not profiling its users and showing all users the same search results for this search term. The company is based in Paoli, Pennsylvania, in Greater Philadelphia and has 111 employees since October 2020. The name of the company is a reference to the children's game duck, duck, goose. The results of the DuckDuckGo Survey are a compilation of more than 400 sources, including Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Bing, Yandex, own web scanner (DuckDuckBot) and others. It also uses data from crowdsourcing sites, including Wikipedia, to fill in the knowledge panel boxes to the right of the results. As of August 2020, there were an average of 65,166,695 daily searches. DuckDuckGo positions itself as a search engine that puts privacy first and as such does not store IP addresses, does not register user information and uses cookies only when necessary. Gabrielle Weinberg, creator of DuckDuckGo, states: By default, DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information. This is our privacy policy in a nutshell. It maintains logs of all search terms used although not in a personally identifiable way. Weinberg clarified the quality of his results in the search engine, deleting search results for companies he believes are content factories such as eHow Demand Media, which publishes 4,000 articles a day produced by paid freelance writers, which Weinberg said is low quality content designed specifically to rank highly in Google's search index. DuckDuckGo also filters pages with Advertising. Instant Responses In addition to indexing search results, DuckDuckGo displays relevant results called called Answers at the top of the search page. These instant responses are collected either from third-party api or static data sources such as text files. Instant responses are called zeroclickinfo because the intention behind them is to provide what users are looking for on the result page of their own search so that they don't have to click any results to find what they are looking for. There were 1,236 instant responses by July 2019. Instant responses are open source and are supported on GitHub, where everyone can build or work on them. Access to Tor In August 2010, DuckDuckGo introduced an anonymous search, including an exit enclave, for its search engine traffic via the Tor network and providing access through the onion service. This provides anonymity by routing traffic through a number of encrypted relays. Weinberg said: I believe this is in line with our privacy policy. Using Tor and DDG, you can now be from end to end anonymous with search. And if you use our encrypted homepage, you can be end to end encrypted as well. Voice Search In 2011, DuckDuckGo introduced voice search for users of Google Chrome's voice search expansion. DuckDuckGo Bangs includes! Bang keywords that give users the ability to search on specific third-party websites - using their own search engine site if applicable. As of August 2020, 13,564 bangs are available for a wide range of internet sites. In December 2018, about 2,000 bangs were removed. Some have been removed due to their removal, while others, such as searches for pirated content sites, have been removed for liability reasons. DuckDuckGo's business model generates revenue by serving ads from the Yahoo-Bing search network and through partnerships with Amazon and eBay. Some of duckDuckGo's source code is free software hosted on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, but the kernel is proprietary. The company registered the domain name ddg.gg february 22, 2011 and acquired duck.com in December 2018, which are used as abbreviated URL aliases that are redirected to duckduckgo.com. The story of DuckDuckGo was founded by Gabriel Weinberg on February 29, 2008 in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Weinberg is an entrepreneur who has previously launched a database of names, a now defunct social network. Originally self-funded by Weinberg, DuckDuckGo is an advertisement supported, but the user has the ability to disable ads. The search engine is written in Perl and works on nginx, FreeBSD and Linux. DuckDuckGo is built primarily on search APIs from various vendors. Because of this, TechCrunch described the service as hybrid. System. Weinberg explained the beginning of the name in regards to the children's other duck, duck, goose. He said of the origin of the title: In fact it just popped into my head one day and and I just loved it. It certainly depends /derived from the duck goose, but other than that there is no connection, for example, a metaphor . DuckDuckGo was featured on TechCrunch's Elevator Pitch Friday in 2008, and he was a finalist in the 2008 BOSS Mashable Challenge. In July 2010, Weinberg opened the DuckDuckGo Community Website (duck.co) to allow the public to report problems, discuss how to spread the use of the search engine, request features, and discuss open code sources. We didn't invest in it because we thought he was going to beat Google. We invested in it because there is a need for a private search engine. We did it for internet anarchists, people who hang out on Reddit and Hacker News. - Fred Wilson, 2012 TechCrunch Disrupt Conference in New York, DuckDuckGo was not funded independently until Union Square Ventures and Angel investors invested in DuckDuckGo in October 2011. Union Square partner Brad Burnham said: We invested in DuckDuckGo because we made sure we could not only change the way we look for competition, but also do it. In addition, Trisquel, Linux Mint and Midori have switched to using DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. By May 2012, the search engine was attracting 1.5 million searches per day. Weinberg said he earned $115,000 in revenue in 2011 and had three employees, as well as a small number of contractors. The Compete.com 266,465 unique visitors to the site in February 2012. On April 12, 2011, Alexa reported a 3- month growth rate of 51%. DuckDuckGo's own traffic statistics show that in August 2012 there were 1,393,644 visits per day, according to 39,406 visits per day in April 2010 (earliest available). In a long profile in November 2012, The Washington Post reported that in October 2012, the number of searches on DuckDuckGo was up to 45,000,000 a month. The article concludes that Weinberg's ambitious goals make him a particularly strange and dangerous competitor on the Internet. It can do almost anything that Google or Bing can't because it can damage their business model, and if users figure out that they like DuckDuckGo way better, Weinberg can hurt the big boys without even trying. This is an asymmetrical digital war, and its defenders at Union Square Ventures say Google is vulnerable. GNOME released Web 3.10 on September 26, 2013, and starting with this version, the default search engine is DuckDuckGo. In a speech at WWDC 2014 on September 18, 2014, Apple announced that DuckDuckGo would be included as a search option on both iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite in its Safari browser. On March 10, Pale Moon's web browser, starting with version 24.4.0, included DuckDuckGo in the default search engine, also listed it on the browser's homepage. In May 2014 released a redesigned version for beta testers through DuckDuckHack. On May 21, 2014, DuckDuckGo officially released a redesigned version that focused on smarter answers and a more refined look. The new version has added many new features such as images, local search, auto-offer, weather, recipes and more. On November 10, 2014, Mozilla added DuckDuckGo as a search option in Firefox 33.1. On May 30, 2016, The Tor Project, Inc. made DuckDuckGo the default tor Browser 6.0 search engine. In July 2016, DuckDuckGo officially announced an expansion of its partnership with Yahoo! that brought new opportunities for all search engine users, including results filtering and additional links to the site. It also collaborates with Bing, Yandex and Wikipedia to get results or use the features on offer. The company also confirmed that it does not share user information with partner companies, as has always been the case in its policy. On January 23, 2018, DuckDuckGo updated its browser extension and mobile app to keep Internet users safe outside the search box. The updated extension and app include a tool to evaluate websites based on their use of encryption and network advertising tracking, as well as the ability to block ad tracking networks. The extension also provides for a summary of the conditions of service from the Terms of Service; I haven't read it.

CHANDER GALLEYSPROOFS2 2/17/2014 9:02 AM HOW LAW MADE SILICON VALLEY Anupam Chander* ABSTRACT Explanations for the success of Silicon Valley focus on the confluence of capital and education. In this Article, I put forward a new explanation, one that better elucidates the rise of Silicon Valley as a global trader. Just as nineteenth-century American judges altered the common law in order to subsidize industrial development, American judges and legislators altered the law at the turn of the Millennium to promote the development of Internet enterprise. Europe and Asia, by contrast, imposed strict intermediary liability regimes, inflexible intellectual property rules, and strong privacy constraints, impeding local Internet entrepreneurs. This study challenges the conventional wisdom that holds that strong intellectual property rights undergird innovation. While American law favored both commerce and speech enabled by this new medium, European and Asian jurisdictions attended more to the risks to intellectual property rights holders and, to a lesser extent, ordinary individuals.

  • The Autonomous Surfer
    Renée Ridgway The Autonomous Surfer CAIS Report Fellowship Mai bis Oktober 2018 GEFÖRDERT DURCH RIDGWAY The Autonomous Surfer Research Questions The Autonomous Surfer endeavoured to discover the unknown unknowns of alternative search through the following research questions: What are the alternatives to Google search? What are their hidden revenue models, even if they do not collect user data? How do they deliver divergent (and qualitative) results or knowledge? What are the criteria that determine ranking and relevance? How do p2p search engines such as YaCy work? Does it deliver alternative results compared to other search engines? Is there still a movement for a larger, public index? Can there be serendipitous search, which is the ability to come across books, articles, images, information, objects, and so forth, by chance? Aims and Projected Results My PhD research investigates Google search – its early development, its technological innovation, its business model of the past 20 years and how it works now. Furthermore, I have experimented with Tor (The Onion Router) in order to find out if I could be anonymous online, and if so, would I receive diver- gent results from Google with the same keywords. For my fellowship at CAIS I decided to first research search engines that were incorporated into the Tor browser as default (Startpage, Disconnect) or are the default browser now (DuckDuckGo). I then researched search engines in my original CAIS proposal that I had come across in my PhD but hadn’t had the time to research; some are from the Society of the Query Reader (2014) and others I found en route or on colleagues’ suggestions.

Drobnicki This bibliography is a supplement to three earlier ones published in the March 1994, Decem- ber 1996, and September 1998 issues of the Bulletin of Bibliography. During the intervening time. Holocaust revisionism has continued to be discussed both in the scholarly literature and in the mainstream press, especially owing to the libel lawsuit filed by David Irving against Deb- orah Lipstadt and Penguin Books. The Holocaust deniers, who prefer to call themselves “revi- sionists” in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, have refused to go away and remain as vocal as ever— Bradley R. Smith has continued to send revisionist advertisements to college newspapers (including free issues of his new publication. The Revisionist), generating public- ity for his cause. Holocaust-denial, which will be used interchangeably with Holocaust revisionism in this bib- liography, is a body of literature that seeks to “prove” that the Jewish Holocaust did not hap- pen. Although individual revisionists may have different motives and beliefs, they all share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate Euro- pean Jewry.

  • Immigration Reform in Refugee and Asylum Policy
    NOTE IMMIGRATION REFORM IN REFUGEE AND ASYLUM POLICY: DISENTANGLING IMMIGRATION FROM THE NATIONAL SECURITY DISCOURSE Rachel Chernov* ABSTRACT After September 11, 2001, a large-scale overhaul of existing US immigration infrastructure fused immigration with the country’s national security apparatus. Enhanced national security efforts became characterized by increased immigration enforcement and were purportedly justified by government officials’ rhetoric portraying newcomers as a threat to public safety. The Trump Administration employed inflammatory anti-immigrant rhetoric to shore up popular support for harmful immigration policies, precluding the United States from fulfilling obligations to refugees and asylum-seekers under international law. This Note argues that the United States shares virtually none of the geopolitical challenges preventing certain countries from compliance with treaty obligations; however, rhetoric conflating immigration and national security results in immigration policy damaging to refugees and asylees seeking protection in the United States. This Note argues that the United States must work towards compliance with its international commitments by dismantling needlessly punitive immigration enforcement policies and abolishing xenophobic rhetoric, and by providing fair and full protection for the growing number of individuals displaced around the globe. * J.D. Candidate, 2021, Fordham University School of Law; B.A., 2018, Lehigh University; Notes & Articles Editor, Fordham International Law Journal, Volume XLIV. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the editorial staff of Volume XLIV for their guidance as I worked through writing and editing this Note.

  • Antisemitism 2.0”—The Spreading of Jew-Hatredonthe World Wide Web
    MonikaSchwarz-Friesel “Antisemitism 2.0”—The Spreading of Jew-hatredonthe World Wide Web This article focuses on the rising problem of internet antisemitism and online ha- tred against Israel. Antisemitism 2.0isfound on all webplatforms, not justin right-wing social media but alsoonthe online commentary sections of quality media and on everydayweb pages. The internet shows Jew‐hatred in all its var- ious contemporary forms, from overt death threats to more subtle manifestations articulated as indirect speech acts. The spreading of antisemitic texts and pic- tures on all accessibleaswell as seemingly non-radical platforms, their rapid and multiple distribution on the World Wide Web, adiscourse domain less con- trolled than other media, is by now acommon phenomenon within the spaceof public online communication. As aresult,the increasingimportance of Web2.0 communication makes antisemitism generallymore acceptable in mainstream discourse and leadstoanormalization of anti-Jewishutterances. Empirical results from alongitudinalcorpus studyare presented and dis- cussed in this article. They show how centuries old anti-Jewish stereotypes are persistentlyreproducedacross different social strata. The data confirm that hate speech against Jews on online platforms follows the pattern of classical an- tisemitism. Although manyofthem are camouflaged as “criticism of Israel,” they are rooted in the ancient and medieval stereotypes and mental models of Jew hostility.Thus, the “Israelization of antisemitism,”¹ the most dominant manifes- tation of Judeophobia today, proves to be merelyanew garb for the age-old Jew hatred. However,the easy accessibility and the omnipresenceofantisemitism on the web 2.0enhancesand intensifies the spreadingofJew-hatred, and its prop- agation on social media leads to anormalization of antisemitic communication, thinking,and feeling.

  • MEDIATING SCANDAL in CONTEMPORARY JAPAN Igor
    French Journal For Media Research – n° 7/2017 – ISSN 2264-4733 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MEDIATING SCANDAL IN CONTEMPORARY JAPAN Igor Prusa PhD The University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies1 [email protected] Abstract Cet article aborde des traits essentiels des affaires médiatiques dans le Japon contemporain. Il s'agit d'une étude interdisciplinaire qui enrichit non seulement le discours des sciences de médias et du journalisme, mais aussi la pholologie japonaise. L’inspiration théorique s'appuie sur la conception néo-fonctionnaliste du scandale en tant que performance sociale située à la limite du « rituel » (la conduite expressive à la motivation socioculturelle) et de la « stratégie » (une action stratégique délibéreée). La première partie de cette étude est consacrée aux caractéristiques du journalisme politique et du contexte médiatico-politique du Japon d’après-guerre. La seconde partie analyse le procès du scandale médiatique lui-même et quelques techniques ritualisées des organisations médiatiques japonaises. Mots-clés Médias japonais, pratiques de journalisme, affaire médiatique, rituel médiatique, procès de la scandalisation Abstract This paper investigates the main features of media scandal in contemporary Japan. This is important because it can add a fresh interdisciplinary direction in the fields of media studies, journalism, and Japanese philology. Furthermore, the sources from the mainstream media, semi-mainstream tabloids and foreign press were examined vie the lens of contemporary neofunctionalist theory, where scandal is approached as a social performance between ritual (motivated expressive behavior) and strategy (conscious strategic action). Moreover, this research illuminates the logic behind the scandal mediation process in Japan, including the performances of both the journalists and the non-media actors, who become decisive for the development of every media scandal.

  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.
