View Full Version : Keep Big Brother OUT of Your Searches!

Recently, when listening to super-nationalist Alex Jones, I heard an advert for a search engine specifically designed to attain the privacy which we all have a right to. It's completely legal and, in my opinion, is very handy due to both it's layout and reliability. The search engine, ixquick, has received multiple awards from magazines and critics, and even the EU. It does not record any of your details, this including your IP results, search results or personal data/information as search engines such as Google and Yahoo do. The search engine also offers a free and safe proxy! The link is here below:

www[dot]ixquick[dot]com

This is really just to advise people who may want to consider using it and provide a way to keep Big Brother's nose out of our business.

Here's some information about the search engine from the site:

IP Addresses
The IP address that is associated with your search will NOT be recorded.
The only exception is for “abusive” (automated) queriers that rapidly submit many queries to Ixquick in a very short time.

Data Collection
Ixquick collects limited information each time you visit our site, so we can improve the overall quality of your online experience. We only collect referral data and browser and platform type and register the date and time you visited the Ixquick.com site and your search terms. Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files to collect and store this anonymous user information.

Information Sharing
Ixquick does not share personal information with any third party search engine or the provider of its sponsored results. Ixquick only shares personal information with third parties when obligated to do so by law (e.g. official court order or subpoena), or to protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Ixquick, its users or the general public as required by law.

You don't podcast him for the lulz? Whenever I'm having a bad day I listen to him. After four hours of laughter I perk right up.

I hope this isn't an 'Anonymous Communist' in the same shitty four-chan way.

Remember that guy who posted a while ago that had Anonymous as an organisation and posted memes all day long?

Did anyone see the video of Jones refusing to get a thumb-print scan at a BMV? That shit was hi-larious.

But seriously, being anonymous on the Internet is impossible. The instant you visit a website, there's a record in the server logs about it (and maybe other servers that are between you and the site). If someone tried hard enough, they could probably piece together a nice road-map of the sites to which you've been. Your ISP logs more or less everything you do, as well.

Besides, what's the big deal with being absolutely anonymous on the Internet? Why should you expect more privacy on the Internet than you have in real life? What do you do differently than what you do on the Internet?
