Genuine question, what is the concern about a Russian search engine?

Every argument I can think of is just worse with Google (spying, propaganda, censorship, security etc).

It depends on the region.

My neibhours never heard about the need to “denazify” us from Google’s home government.

War is much much worse than google. (Btw. Kagi is nice alternative, where you are the customer, not the product)

> what is the concern

Additional inteligence channel for their three letter agencies.

When somebody asks Yandex for data, decision making is done in such environment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_notable...

Not 100% sure, but I think they might have meant Ukraine when they said “us”

The poster was referring to Google's home government, which is the US.
