Please explain.

From their official site:

>Ecosia is like any other search engine, with one major difference: we use our profits to plant trees.

>Our servers run on 100% renewable energy, and every search request removes 1kg of CO2 from the atmosphere.

>>1051584 (OP)

>Why don't you use it, 8tards?

I don't want to be friendly to the ecology, faggot OP, nor have any of those other things.

Jokes on you for needing it.

Is Ecosia the one with the yahoo search engines?

Can I switch it to DuckDuckGo so I get less censorship and piss off the /pol/tards who fell for deep state propaganda telling us not to trust the jew?

>Ecosia uses the ad revenue from your searches to plant trees where they are needed the most.

I like trees. Let's hope Ecosia is not part of some Agenda 21 Codex Alimentarius Georgia Guidestone NWO eugenics plan.

Btw you know who else planted a shitton of trees? Anthony Watts, kek.

Please explain.

Is this bait?

who cares if they plant trees if they are still being cut down

>>1051621

Why would you want to reduce CO2?

>>1051621

but often they are cutting them down for no reason

>>1051621

>Because planting and cutting down trees is a way to produce useful resource?

Well the wood industry probably doesn't need adcash subsidies. I think they can afford to plant their own trees.

Is that a thing?

Anyway, I'm glad they're using a deep state search engine so I don't even have to think about this.

>>1051623

Also this.

>>1051640

Is this chinkspeak on the signs?

Anyways I would have cut down the signs tbh.

>>1051589

>1 kg CO2

>for a single search query

The absolute state of bloat in 2019.

>54 million trees planted

Kek, I should make a search engine too. femtopia. com: For every search query, we totally teach one girl how to code! In the about page I can pull some thots from instagram and slap their photos on bios from white male programmers on linkedin :^)

Nice satire. However, someone will do this and will get money for it.

>>1051593

Just ask DDG CEO. He spoke about it to a California hearing.

Summary: they make money from ad revenue. They don't track users to deliver personalized ads, they just show contextual ads (eg. if you search for cars, you get car ads). He explains how this is still a very profitable strategy with an extra moral bonus attracting customers.

>>1051660

That's a great idea, but you need to go a step further. To both help people and better monetize you could message the linkedin users about how they could look like the thot in their femtopia profile, then link them to a nearby doctor who specializes in cock removal. These surgeries are of course expensive, so femtopia also collects donations in the name of the (soon to be) female devs to help pay for their surgery. Once the dev has her cock removed and shipped to femtopia H(er)Q the full amount donated is transferred to her account, minus a modest fee which femtopia uses to help more womyn.

But I do use it. Its image search gives the best results when you look for porn.

Wait. What the fuck kind of logic is that? Who cares about raising animals or fruits if they're being eaten/harvested? Low IQ post.

>>1051884

So what would you prefer? American and Asian are infinitely worse, and so are African countries. What's left?

>>1051887

european countries not part of 14 eyes (switzerland, bulgaria, ukraine)

>>1051900

LOL. .Implying they aren't all U.S./U.K. client states with MLATs. Do you even into int'l relations? Switzerland, indeed. LOL.

>>1051900

>european countries not part of 14 eyes

That seems like a good idea. European data protection laws plus there's a chance NSA might have to put slightly more effort into getting the data.

>>1051883

>Its image search gives the best results

Based, bumped and bookmarked. Fuck startpage and their shitty new layout that makes image search living hell.

>>1051883

do people really use search engines for that?

>>1051900

There's more than just 14 eyes.

>Additional surveillance partners: Israel, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan.

All poor EU countries are literally owned by Germany and the corrupted EU officials (I'm living in one). Not to mention they don't have their own ISPs and the ones they "own" are just sub-ISPs of TMobile or another big ISP, so they're not independent. Also a lot of their servers are just owned/leased by Germany. Don't think for a second that some countries are safe just because they aren't 14 eyes.

As for Switzerland, they've helped USA before.

No (((country))) or (((government))) can be trusted.

Thus, the only logical solution is to make your service so that the government cannot do anything to you, since laws do not apply when no one can enforce them.

In other words, make it a hidden service. Like nanochan, for example.

However, the javashit-using eco-soyboys at Niggernesia want to make (((profits))) and "plant" trees (photos? where are these 6 gorillion trees you planted?) rather than serving the primary purpose of respecting privacy and anonymity.

>>1051921

so make nothing then. you have to connect to the internet to get to tor and you risk getting tracked and possibly deanonymized then.

>>1051914

I use a searx instance thats hosted in the Republic Of Ireland.

Outside of 14 eyes

Outside of NATO

Neutral country

>>1051930

where do those get the database? all that is irrelevant if it still connects to some external service to find whatever you searched for.

if the fires were started by a huge group of arsonists then that's a good argument

>>1051914

my country has shitload of wifi mini ISPs, I don't think all of them are under control of the big ones

>>1051930

doesn't Ireland suck big companies dick the most? It's tax haven and most US companies reside there. Also I was there for some time and when I tried to visit piratebay just for fun, site recommended me to use vpn, never happened in my country. Also cameras fucking everywhere.

>>1051584 (OP)

Wew, I haven't seen this shit in a while. Thanks for bringing it up after red pilling normies around me about that I'll be able to do the same on this board.

>How does Ecosia protect my privacy?

>We only collect the data we absolutely need and do so with a self-hosted, secure and encrypted in-house analytics system.

>We collect data and do statistical analysis to understand user behavior and trends, how people use our services

>to understand user behavior

This is impossible without an ID system.

>After 7 days we remove all personal information (like the IP address) from the search data.

So they do collect personal/private information.

>Additionally, we collect anonymous data to help identify and fix bugs and issues in Ecosia products and services.

Aka metadata, if there's anything to learn about the Snowden leaks is that metadata isn't anonymous.

>What about cookies?

>Information stored in our cookies include:

>In some cases which way you have found out about Ecosia

>In some cases an identifier for our own anonymous usage data, for example to know how many users we have

All of these are a way to catalogue people.

>Can anyone see my searches?

>After 7 days we remove all personal information (like the IP address) from the search data we collect ourselves. So we don't know what you have searched for.

>So we don't know what you have searched for.

Goody, exceptions.

>Will any data ever be shared with 3rd parties?

>Ecosia does use third party tools on non-search pages where absolutely necessary to help us understand and tune our marketing campaigns. For example, we may run an ad campaign on a social media site that requires us to share some data about user activity in order to help us understand how effective that campaign is. This helps us to prevent spending money on unsuccessful advertising campaigns that could instead be used to plant trees.

Use searx.

>>1051999

We can also add that it's a centralized proprietary SaaS.

It's pretty obvious you can just fiddle the numbers to appear eco-friendly. Trees planted is not the same thing as a 10+ year old mature tree, not even close. The only real eco-friendly option is to not use a search engine, which is effectively a server farm that consumes Kilowatts of energy every hour. Write all your favorite sites down on paper or keep a bookmarks folder and bring back portal websites. Only use search engines to actually search for new stuff.

Not everyone who still believes in manmade global warming is a redditfag and not everyone who bothered to look at the "evidence" and found it unconvincing is /pol/

Fun fact: Greta the climate loli has some ancestor who thought he figured out how greenhouses work and that's why climatologists call the cause for global warming the greenhouse effect, but greenhouses don't warm due to the greenhouse effect but actually due to the glasshouse effect because Greta-ancestor was fucking wrong.

His theory was not a bad one though, i don't want to diss him, in theory he is absolutely correct, just not on a relevant scale.

>>1052130

So we're watching a mystical space monkey that can only say "yes" or "no", and sometime doesn't say anything at all. When something bad happens, we turn to the monkey for explanation: it happened because the monkey said "yes", or because it said "no", or because it didn't say anything for too long.

I both love and fear the mystical monkey.

>>ecology-friendly

Literally what?

>>Ecosia is like any other search engine, with one major difference: we use our profits to plant trees.

Are you invested into forestry or what the fuck does this even mean?

>>Our servers run on 100% renewable energy, and every search request removes 1kg of CO2 from the atmosphere.

That's obviously bullshit, but just to be sure, how does that help ecology exactly and what are exact power sources you using? Maybe your servers were produced with 100% renewable energy as well?

Fuck you and your pretend-to-care-to-milk-more-of-those-shekels-out-of-plebs attitude. You are going nowhere.
