Sigh. Google does not have a "partnership" with the NSA. They give the NSA data when they are required to do so by law. The problem is the law, which should be changed.
The difference is that you voluntarily offered google your data; those who were enslaved and slaughtered like animals by proxies of the state couldn't simply subsist under the duckduckgo regime instead.
If this were a matter of true evil instead of obscene hyperbole then people would actually stop using google instead of apathetically sojourning into your figurative google gas chamber.
