DuckDuckGo privacy: A search engine that doesn’t track its users

Has anyone independently verified their claim? What better way to identify "people of interest" than to advertise a site that doesn't track you and then see which people use it and then track them. Talk about solving finding the needle in the hay, let people self-flag themselves.

Their main feature is privacy, so if news came out that they were actually tracking users, it would pretty much destroy the business. Given that, it would make @yegg really vulnerable to blackmail by employees.

Again, I advertise I'm not sharing data and everyone buys up into it without verifying. I have asked friends at Facebook about sharing data with NSA, their response is FB is very transparent and someone would have seen it. So it's very possible they share data and their employees don't know. I hate to use this phrase, trust but verify
