Police ask for whole city's Google searches, and a judge says yes

I am one of those who also like/use DDG. My only fear is "collaboration with Yahoo to enhance blah blah.."

in that sense I don't know (and don't care to learn) the details and whether in the end of the day Yahoo gets a copy of every-thing searched on DDG with the extra info (IP, MAC, browser fingerprint, etc.)

as for the "one at a time" I am totally wih you on this but I think it's a losing war.. WAY TOO many people don't see past their screen into what happens on the bits&bytes exiting their phones/laptops

DDG originally detailed the extent to which this collaboration existed. They described a DDG-owned and operated server that is accessible only to DDG, but which was required to have a yahoo.com domain in order to use services of Yahoo.

Now, I cannot find this information on their website. Perhaps they got rid of that collaboration (now that Verizon owns Yahoo)?
