#Kagi pay Yandex in exchange for search results. In russia, #Yandex hands over their users' private data to the FSB, promotes pro-war disinformation and shows only Kremlin-approved websites in the top 5 results. Yandex also sent their Ukrainian users' private information to the #russian intelligence services.
@kagihq's CEO said: “The moment 'politics' becomes a factor in search results is the moment I stop working on a search engine. … Users deserve access to the best possible information, not information filtered through our political lens. … As someone who was a refugee of two wars, I'm not indifferent to human suffering. The world doesn't need another politicized search engine.”
