Alternatives to Google as a Search Engine?
Looking for something along the lines of DuckDuckGo and other privacy focused search engines. Any Tildoes have a go-to, non-censored, privacy focused search engine?

Next week the EU parliament will vote for their new copyright directive. In general it contains some good ideas, but also some extremely bad ones, such as article 13. It will require all uploaded content to be scanned, and deleted if it might contain references to other copyrighted material.
The issue here is the word might. Due to the possible fines for companies that accidentally leave up something that contains a copyrighted work, they are incentivized to act more harsh than often necessary. It's safer for them to delete everything that looks like it might infringe copyright than risk the fine.
This could be disastrous for the Internet as we know it. And this is why many movements are speaking out against it. One such example would be the open letter to EU parliament. More information is available on https://saveyourinternet.eu/resources/, and you can find much more about it all over the Internet if you search with your favourite search engine.
What's your opinion on article 13, and have you done anything to make your voice heard?
Online/digital bookmarking and excerpting is something that really interests me because I think most if not all existing options for it fall very short of the functionality I wish existed, and that I think could exist.
One of the first online bookmarking services I used was Delicious, and for a few years it was irreplaceable for me. However it languished after it was bought by Yahoo and then resold, and since then I’ve observed its slow and steady decline from afar.
The purpose of this post is twofold:
As a sidenote, I also found this explanation of Delicious' approach to tagging to be very interesting: del.icio.us/help/tags | 21 February 2006
I hadn't realized that Delicious was actually the first to introduce the concept of user-controlled tags for bookmarks:
When Delicious was first launched, it was the first use of the term "tag" in the modern sense, and it was the first explicit opportunity where website users were given the ability to add their own tags to their bookmarks so that they could more easily search for them at a later time. This major breakthrough was not much noticed as most thought the application at the time "cool" but obvious. – Source
Edit: I hope it's alright to edit a post this many hours after having submitted it. There were a few important updates that I really wanted to include here.
Greeting everyone!
I think this is the best category to ask that kind of question. I am looking for website/blog/author which provides information regarding new restriction on the internet. For example in China, Iran, Russia and etc...
Any good sources to get fresh information (In English).
