Voting with our wallet doesn't work, because we can't know if they lie or not.

Have they made a Ulysses Pact to enforce their position?

We could of course also enact a robust regulatory state with the ability to audit and enforce these things, but we've decided against that it seems.
I don't know where you're from, but on this side of the pond we have GPDR.
How is GDPR enforced though? With enough disregard for the law, the service provider can just lie about the data they have. I don’t know of a mechanism where you can actually force an audit to confirm that. You can basically ask the provider for all the data they have about you, but you can’t find out if they’re lying.
In the US, we don't.
the teapot analogy actually falls on kagi to provide proof.
and i doubt mean a non biding privacy policy. heck metabook and google both always had one saying the same thing
Google was showing my search history since forever, and they never claimed to not storing it?
The only thing we can do is vote with our wallet if we see that they have lied all the way.
This will only lead us to Russel's teapot [0].
BTW, their current privacy policy is at [1].
