That website allows people to create profiles for other people _without their consent_, then allows the person's attractiveness, friendliness, goodness to be publicly rated/smeared.

And you wanted all that data to be displayed when a person's name is searched for?

And when the people at DDG decided not to pull in your plugin you're calling it censorship?

I have no words



For someone with no words, you sure do have alot to say.

Go on, tell us more about how you don't like x behavoir that people enage in everyday with or without the aid of technology? Ever comment on somone without their consent, even if there may be some truth to it or not in an unaccountable fashion? Ever upload a photo to a social network without asking all possible parties if that was ok? Did you give the ok for mass surveillance by corperations and governments and the secret profiles they compile and leverage in private?

DDG has every right to not want to allow x for their platform, but let's not pretend that them making that decision is going to make things just go away, especially just because one may or not like x. Not all of us can create The Names Database, cash out for $10m and try to sell privacy as a service through a search engine and ignore the elephant in the room.
