Search Engines Should Become Government Spies, Says EU Parliament
Search Engines Should Become Government Spies, Says EU Parliament Quote: "Privacy is a fundamental right and the basis of a free society. The phenomenal success of Ixquick and Startpage proves that people don't want to be watched by their governments," said Mr. Beens. "Spying on law-abiding citizens is not the way forward, and we will stand by our principles to protect the public's ability to search in privacy." In case you weren't aware of this ( most people aren't ) http://www.ixquick.com/eng/press/pr-...on-policy.html
You can help by adding Ixquick as one of your search engines, and using it. Ixquick Search Engine
It may not be your favorite , but using it once or twice a day will show support for the principle. | My System Specs |

reading the subject, i get confused.
Ixquick has been awarded by EU, because EU does NOT want search-engines to "spy" on european citizens.
it looks like you have misunderstood the whole thing ? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell

Hackerman,
Ixquick has been awarded the privacy seal. That shows their claim to protect privacy is valid.
Sadly, the EU wants to remove privacy by forcing Search engines to spy on their users.
Ixquick are therefore the prime target.
All EU "citizens" may be subject to this fate - if the ruling goes through
