Navalny and his allies want to use the website and a separate app to organise a tactical voting campaign at the Sept. 17-19 contest to land a blow against the ruling United Russia party. The campaign urges followers to sign up so they can be allocated… Source link

But the company’s critics warn that this comes with a clear risk: that it will accelerate a… Source link

In a blog post on Tuesday, Google announced that videos uploaded to YouTube by users 13 to 17 years old would be private by default, allowing the content to be seen only by the users and people they designates.

When we think of search engines, some of the first services that come to mind are likely Google Search and Bing. Then, there are alternative entities like DuckDuckGo and Qwant that prioritize user data and privacy when delivering results. One major search engine that doesn’t receive as much North American attention is Yandex, a Russian-owned engine that is merely one piece of a massive technology conglomerate. The Yandex search engine was launched in 1997 by Arkady Volozh, Arkady… Source link

Brave, makers of the privacy-focused Brave browser, launched a new search engine in public global beta on Tuesday (via TechCrunch). Brave Search, like the company’s browser, is meant to be a private and transparent alternative to Google’s offerings that doesn’t turn users into carefully surveilled targets for advertising. It also isn’t dependent on Google’s results — Brave Search uses its own independent index of the web to function. Using an entirely different index is kind… Source link
